I did not hit the brakes either- which is why I survived that encounter. I had a box trailer on and I'd filled it with clay to be dumped off the next day. Overnight it poured down- and now the load was much heavier than I envsaged. And since I'd loaded it evenly, rather than with more weight up front, the weight of the load at the back acted as a cantilever, lifting the rear of the car. Thankfully I was in a fairly big vehicle or it would have been all over red rover. I was only doing 80km/h at the time! So i went up the freeway not game to go over 70, which in a 110 zone is not good either.
My mate was towing home his race car. Going down the Hume Hwy on the divided bridge at Mittagong, he took up 3 lanes of the highway as per the video, his foot flat to the floor to pull it out and he topped out at 160km/h. Once under control, he pulled over to calm down. The police saw the whole thing, and came up to have a chat. They must have been impressed with his driving as they did not take the matter any further.

out of me for this very reason. I stay well behind them until it is safe to pass, then I get passed them as quickly as possible, speed limit be damned.
