    If you can't pass me safely, you have plenty of room to drop back in behind.
    I expect he could have passed you safely until you decided to floor it to prevent him passing.

    Bleat, bleat, highway code, slow down, I can't overtake by myself.


    Nah, you're probably a similar idiot who just likes to drive on the right, bleating about others speeding up hills, while you drop into the distance, with your right foot unmoving on the accelerator. See you behind me one day, hopefully.
  • That'd be great. Ever tried stopping a bike from overtaking? You can't ;) Byeeeee .....

    Can I ask why you feel the need to insult anybody who disagrees with you?
    Is it a case of you taking non prescription drugs, or do you have a genuine mental health condition that you simply cannot help?
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    It's a problem created by both drivers. It's completely inappropriate to overtake at the Nsl because it presupposes that the vehicle ahead has a less progressive plan. For the person being overtaken, despite how frustrating, you should allow him to make his overtake, because it is your duty to mitigate the risk to him and others by his time exposed to danger. It is wrong to exacerbate his stupidity by accelerating while he is overtaking.
    The guy who acts sensibly and keeps his cool in such situations officially has the bigger penis.
    Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

    I assune your mental health condition accounts for your lack of manners? I would suggest, if you can't contribute anything useful, don't contribute at all.

    I made the judgement he would have been overtaking for a lot longer than it would have taken him simply to pull back in when I'd gone. So, effectively reducing his exposure.

    I didn't think there was anything disrespectful about those questions, but the words pot, kettle & black certainly wouldn't be too far out of place right now.

    You accused "Motorguy" of homophobia the other day when he pointed out your info was incorrect, and now you feel the need to insult "UsernameAlreadyExists" because you don't agree with what he (or she) says as well.

    I don't think there was anything disrespectful in my answer, as you say, pot kettle black, and I hope your medication helps. As to motorguy, he's off again. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5002053
