Sh*te, good to hear u got away with it!!
I had a similar occurence. I was on a highway that ends rather abruptly in a sharp righthand corner, to be fair its a max 100(km) zone from about 10km back, and then turns into a max 80, 60 and finaly 40 about 500m before the turn. Anyway some idiot who had been hired by the NATO to drive the big wigs during the summit here a few years back was testing his new Audi A8 on the highway, with a group of other A8's. They were testing high speed runs etc.
I was just into the curve, and heard and almighty screeching, look back, and see an A8, wheels locked over fully, ABS working, but still fully blocked wheels. He flew straight past my rear, inches from where I had been seconds before, and would have been had I been doing 40 instead of 41+kmh(makes u think), hit a hump of gravel, and the car ended up flipping in the air, landing on its roof.
Later turns out he was doinf 280kmh, and talking on the phone. Dumb bas***d
