Police believe the incident was witnessed by the driver of a silver single-cab Ford, towing a 6x4 trailer with a cage, and have urged the person to come forward to help investigators.
The Ford was forced to take evasive action as it was driving south towards the offending car, driving to the left of the fog line to prevent a head on collision.
Leading Senior Constable Neil Hobbs said a blue Ford ute crossed double white lines to overtake a white Triton ute on the Kiewa Valley Highway, just north of John Schubert Drive, last Monday about 4pm - almost forcing the Triton off the road.
