What is it with poeple not overtaking Tractors?

[Finglonga]

~Rant mode~ Bit puzzled as in to why people with happily sit behind a tractor when it is safe to pass with ease. Had 2 today that were so far up it's chuff they couldn't see the road ahead wad dead straight and clear to overtake. I went past and they still sat there while others leapfrogged their way to the front.

Are they taught this or is it they are not paying attention or lacking confidence in their car or driving ability? I am seeing it more and more often nowadays and because of them not overtaking they causing huge 20+ queues of cars following.

the oncoming vehicle did not seem to have to take too much evasory action, or even try to flash idiot him to push him back,
maybe margin was greater than it appeared, would have though oncoming might have braked to standstill.
(Do police have higher quality/resolution cameras to have maybe caught his registration plates.)

He did brake hard and was right up the verge, however if the fiesta had simply braked and dropped in behind the tractor he would be fine. Luckily he was not travelling too fast due to the conditions.

As for the camera the police use mostly 1080p ones at the moment, mine is a 1440p but with spray you would be hard pressed to get any number off it at that distance.

Oh and the AMG badged Merc didn't pass the tractor at all he waited for it to turn off.
