This village road with parked cars to the right side is usually wide enough for two opposing cars to squeeze through.

Today there was a large lorry which I misjudged and awkwardly went on the pavement. Is there a better course of action I should have taken or just one of these things?

Maybe braked as soon as I moved past the cars parked on my left? Not sure either of us would have space though. Perhaps reversed?

Edit: Thank you for all the responses, wasn’t expecting this much attention for a minor question! Pleasantly surprised that I wasn’t shot down in flames as usual, good to know the majority agreed with me.
