Amazing. Driving through a nearby village and coming up to a roundabout. Missus points out an unlit horse and trap that I need to give way to. Good spot, I think - might not have seen that.
Off the RAB and stuck behind that for twenty seconds or so, when another comes up behind, fast. I'm going to get overtaken by this second one if I don't get past, I think, not particularly seriously. But that's what happens. Directly into an oncoming car. The oncoming driver doesn't react at all, and horse man gets out of the way by about an inch. Then carries on unfazed and overtakes the first one. Horse all over the place, getting whipped to f
k, sparks from its shoes.
Reported it to 101 although wondered if it was a 999 moment. Never seen such a near miss, and never such a bizarre one. And there we have it: my gypsy dhead tale du jour.

In summary;
OP was driving his car and came upon a gentleman driving an horse and carriage.
He wished to overtake said Gentleman and proceeded to attempt an overtaking manoeuvre.
Upon half way through the manoeuvre, he observed another Gentleman horse and cart driving behind him, seemingly without enough space for him to pass safely on Her Majesties Carrigeaway.
With many expressions of 'Cor blimey' and 'luvva Duck', the OP managed to avoid the impending addition to various supermarkets shelves.
That's how I see it. After a glass or two.

You might find you've got some new 'neigh'bours tomorrow.

Even this doesn't make any sense.OP is clearly an imbecile, and should be left to play on his own.

I wasn't overtaking anything. Does comprehension elude you?
I got overtaken by a near-invisible horse and trap, but because he was a pissed up nutjob, he overtook directly into the path of an oncoming car.
To be fair your first post is confusing, and doesn't clearly explain things at all. It wasn't clear to me that you were overtaken by another horse and trap rather than another car.I got overtaken by a near-invisible horse and trap, but because he was a pissed up nutjob, he overtook directly into the path of an oncoming car.
