I think the point he was trying to make was that, although riding into the oncoming lane could be ONE option, it should never be your ONLY option... because now you're putting your fate in the hands of luck that no one is coming the other way.

However I suspect (hope) that No Worries probably could have probably slowed down enough to roll through it had the oncoming lane been occupied by a tractor trailer. But since the it was open, he made the choice to use that option over slowing and rolling through it, around it, whatever.

Now if going into the oncoming lane was in fact his ONLY option... then yah, rookie mistake. But he never said it was his ONLY option, thus we can't judge.
