BUT in saying that, there was a double yellow line and a blind corner coming up. Quite the risk to take. Damed if you do, damed if you don't. Just glad it wasn't us coming round that blind corner, and it could easily have been us. Am really tempted to put a dash cam in our car, it would save a lot of he-said-she-said-they-said.I fitted a dashcam to our Polestar after reading posts on the owners forum of collision damage where replies almost always include "did you get it on dashcam" which prompted a 'what if' alert to me. They can make for incontrovertible evidence in the case of an insurance claim for sure.
Interesting to revisit close shaves later, though it does impress on me that video footage can so easily be 'clipped' to change the impact of what's being viewed. Also those minor transgressions by others that happen on the periphery of your vision IRL can be variously chilling or dismissed in review.
