Last year my family and I were on our way back from a 3 day trip in Mammoth (skiing), and my dad asked if I wanted to drive-this was back when I had my permit. Anyway, sun sets, and it's night, round 7 maybe, and we're in the middle of a desert on a 1 lane highway. There's this big-rig 18 wheeler in front of me going 60, and i was doing 65/70, so i check the lines-yep, broken yellow, good to pass. What I failed to notice was that as soon as I crossed over the broken yellow turned into solid double yellow, cause of a hill. Well, we're about 3/4 past the truck when I see headlights. Me being my stupid self, instead of breaking and getting back behind the truck, I gun it to see if I can beat the oncoming car. Big mistake. Would have been a head on collision if the other car hadn't swerved off the road.
Well, thats the closest I've come to death. Friends are scared to drive with me now, even though I've learned my lesson about passing at night [img]tongue.gif[/img]
