Driving home tonight I was making progress on a road that I used to use as a newly passed teenager..

Caught up with a car and thought I know - passing opportunity around the bend. Used to use it lot's.

My god - even though current car is considerably faster no way was that a safe spot to overtake.... Can't believe I used to see it as safe.

Anyone else have similar flashbacks?

This is all pretty concerning - I was young once but no I didn't overtake on blind bends. That is just fking stupid, end of. The concerning bit is, the yoof of today are probably doing the same. I just pray I don't meet them coming the other way.
Just to be clear - no blind bends,but straights that I thought in those days were sufficient..... Now not so much.
