Wet Road Causes Overtaking Maneuver to Fail Miserably

Whenever it’s raining outside, it is always recommended to adapt your speed and style of driving. You may be able to drive your car flat out in the dry without ever encountering a problem (we are referring to regular and usually underpowered cars).
The driver of this gray estate was overtaking the truck with the dash-mounted camera, however, he did not calculate the gap correctly, and almost ends up crashing into an oncoming truck head-on. In order to avoid the imminent accident, the driver pulls hard to the right, causing a spectacular, almost drift-like slide.

The care ends up in the grass to the side of the road, but quite far away from it - the car was carrying quite a bit of speed when the slide occurred. Thankfully, this time the very worst was avoided, and everybody walked away unscathed.
