I've had my license for around half a year at this point. A few of months ago I was driving from a ski resort with a couple of my friends. A car in front of me was driving annoyingly slow around 70km/h on a 100km/h road. I was tired and desided to overtake the car in front of us. I saw another car coming towards us but because it was dark I thought that it was way further back than it actually was. Once I was next to the car I was overtaking I noticed the oncoming being much closer. Once I had returned to my lane I was driving around 130-140km/h. There was still some distance between us and the oncoming car so it wasn't a close call by any means, but I still think about the recklessness of that move. Lesson learned.
