I was on a two-lane blacktop yesterday(it is middle of the night here) afternoon when I had to go up a little hill to get to the line of vehicles' at the red light. As I was going up the small hill, coming out of the old center of the city, a car sped past me by going into the oncoming lane. By doing so, the vehicle nearly caused a a big accident with an oncoming vehicle who blew their horn really loud. I wasn't surprised, because of the driver's obvious attitude from their speeding.
I immediately passed them and four other vehicles before getting back in the line of traffic, w/o crossing the double-yellow line.
