Crash Comic - Er, yeah, no.

Have you ever told ATC that you understood something when you didn't? One pilot wonders why he said 'yes' when he should have said 'no'.
In this Crash comic, experience a close call where the pilot walked away with an important lesson to share.

Good lesson. I think there is also another lesson that could be taught. Check with local operators or tower about procedures in the area. Not unusual at Essendon to get early left turn instructions for 26 due to tulla traffic, a normal Vy takeoff would of been fine in those pipers then turn when you're at a reasonable height. I think if the pilot had of gotten a briefing in this case they would of expected the instruction and the stress caused situation could be averted.
