..and suddendly fly past far to close sh*ting you up.

Does it p*ss you off??

Just venting about some rectum on a sv1000 who did it to me today in a 30 zone, this idiot was way up the road when I pulled out, yet he sped up and flew past very close.

Rant over....

Granted it sounded nice and looked nice, but he flew past quite quick and close that I didnt even hear him.

Yes it does annoy me. I never overtake without making sure the person I'm overtaking has seen me.
