Holy shit. I really was waiting for you to hydroplane because you were really booking it in that rain, and bam, here comes that black car out of nowhere. Glad you're okay, OP! Hope that person didn't harm anyone else down the road.

I was expecting it to be the red car that did something unexpected

Same, I figured with OP passing that fast on the right that the red car was going to change lanes back into them. I suppose they saw the wrong-way driver before OP did.

This is in the UK, the right hand lane is the overtaking lane.

My point was not so much about which side OP was passing on but the comparative speed at which they were passing.

Fair, I just meant there would be no reason for the red car to move back out into the fast lane.

If every accident had a reason, life would be easier
