So I was following a few large vehicles, and felt I had enough power and space to pass them. I passed the bus, and then went to pass the lorry. As I was beside it, the driver decided he wanted to move across the center line, and forced me to go into oncoming traffic.
I would not have attempted the manoeuvre if there were vehicles coming toward me, so the lane was empty. However, there is a central reservation, so I had to swerve right to avoid it, as there was a car in the left lane (in front of the lorry).
Anyway, I kept on going, my heart racing a little bit faster. I took a moment to think about it, and realised I should not have attempted this move; there would have been opportunities moments later that would have allowed me to pass safely.
Lesson learned.
Here is the video.
