Ouch - I've never been a huge fan of crossing the double yellow in a blind corner myself. That could have ended far, far worse. 101 you're probably right but I can honestly say I don't think I'd have the presence of mind to keep looking through the turn after almost being head-on'd. More like "Holy F**K" followed by "WTF WAS THAT?!" then "I'm alive! I'm alive!" then "Oh SHHH...."

Although if you look the guy did know to pull his knee in and cock his head to the right, right before he went off the road

Right.

Over the yellow in a blind is one thing. Passing a car is another. Wow street riding freaks me out....

Who does this? What basic thought process mechanism is absent in such people?
