I really need to share what happened today and I would appreciate if people could give me some encouragement or words.

Today I was out with friends having a great time. Whilst driving home we were on a one lane 2 way road, road limit was 100.

It was pouring down and his car infront of me overtook the guy infront of him, doing so going into the other travel direction's lane despite ongoing traffic. But the distanc was safe to do so.

Somehow the guy infront of me now was going at 60. I decided to overtake him too. Whilst I sped up, he did too and a part of me didn't want to back down. While this was happening ongoing traffic was approaching close and closer. I ended up only catching up because I went up to 110kmph and also had a car on the ppposite travel direction right infront of me while the guy in my lane was also right infront of me.

I had just enough to make it, it could have ended terribly and really badly. I regret this so much and it all happened really quickly. I knew immediately that it was my fault and I am filled with immense guilt and fault. I can't believe I become the person on the road that I despised most. The irresponsible, dangerous and reckless driver.

I felt horrible and cried a lot after getting back and apologising to my friends. They said that they forgive me but I find it hard to forgive myself. Because deep down inside I admit and I know that I was those close to getting into an accident today and potentially killing 3 others with a head on smash with another car while having another car smashing on the left.

Here's to a message for other drivers who sometimes might think of taking a risk for a moment of challenge and satisfaction. Don't do it, I got lucky and others might not be as lucky. It's unfair for other people on the road and also for any passengers and our loved ones who will be hurt the most if anything were to happen.

Please pray for me. God bless.
