At least you got a cool picture out of it, I didn't get anything
On a serious note though, if you are behind some one doing say 60km/h in a 80km/h zone and you go to overtake them in a fast car, isn't it safer to overtake as quickly as you possibly can so you are not on the wrong side of the road? I think the law is bullshit that says you can not go above the speed limit if you are overtaking.
The way I see it, the ute was going under the speed limit so you went to safely and legally overtake when you saw an incoming car in the distance, got scared and accelerated to get back into your correct lane as to not cause an accident...
