A bloody close shave

Travelling home from work today, travelling through a quiet village called Gosfield and I'm in my sisters car that we had to borrow the last week or so. I'm driving down the main road at about 40mph when all of a sudden a silver Fiesta shoots from the other side of the road right across my lane and down a side road. It was bloody close. But worse than that, his mate in a maroon Ka thought it was OK to follow him about two foot from his bumper

I had to brake hard, swerve across to the other lane around the second car and then back in to my lane before hitting the oncoming traffic. Fook knows what it looked like from the outside but jebus, I didn't think my reactions would be that fast. I reckon I missed his back end by less than a foot and luckily still had reasonable room before getting too close to the oncoming traffic. I was VERY close to turning around and catching up with them down the road, but at the end of the day, where does that get you so I just merrily carried on my way.
