thats so embarrasing if youre the overtaker. you go through all the effort to overtake, 20 seconds later there is traffic ahead and then you get caught up with :D

i once actually turned off at some traffic lights due to this very reason. i ended up going on a massive detour just to save face :o

Thats why I rarely overtake around here, as you're guaranteed to be stuck behind someone slower than the person you just went past.

So you keep to the limit by breaking it? :confused:

How would you react if a Ferrari overtook you at 80. Would you still attempt to overtake it?

On a bit of road that i knew i might just for the laugh, i mean come on, half you guys seem to have no fun driving! You take it too seriously.

Like when i did the porsche on the a419, i did him and then he blew me out of the water, it put a smile on my face just messing about like that, well worth a giggle.

Never overtaken anyone, I've had the time and distance to but hardly worth the effort on roads I know.

On the motorway tho people are hopeless, incapable of keeping a steady speed.

Thankfully my dad taught me to watch what is happening behind you and thus I manage to regularly hold 80 indicated all the way along a motorway.

Also when people pull out into your lane they never speed up in their own. Some **** pulled out in front of me doing 60 when he had plenty of space between him and the lorry to accelerate.

Although I have to say I spend far too much time in the middle lane, although when im there I keep up with the traffic but so many people just don't let you out from the inside lane so I think sod it and stick with the middle lane traffic.
 
Having driven a Discovery TD5 around for the last two years, I'm quite used to being overtaken. In fact, I'd prefer them to overtake than have them sit inches off the rear bumper.
 
i was wearing my brawn jacket and cap on way to a job earlier and i swear lots more people have started over taking me and accelerating fiercely since i've worn it lol.
 
90% of the people i overtake it angry, not sure why. My main problem is ill overtake someone drifting along at 40 in 50s/60s, only to get him tailgate me through 30mph zones... so yeah maybe thats why they get angry?
 
I had some numpty sat in the middle lane of the M4 last weekend, nothing in lane 1. I flash him as I pass...as in 'stop blocking people's way'.

He went mental in his car, waving his arms about, flashing etc...

Hokaaaayyyyy....
