Agreed. Although it is hard to do so, people really shouldnt make assumptions based on so little. I for one, get pretty frusturated when people assume that just because I wear hearing aids I sign. Its untrue - I can't even sign at all.

Life does go on and if someone desperately needs to get somewhere then they should overtake the funeral procession if required. But in a respectful manner as Filipe & steve god have said.

I`d never overtake a funeral procession as I see it as an act of courtesy and respect.

I have never been in the situation, but id imagine i wouldnt either!

I overtook one just yesterday, but only because it was on a dual-carriageway. Went past at about 40mph in top gear to keep it as quiet as possible and gave the lead car a quick nod on the way past. No evil looks at all.

Tad hasty to burn the scrote aren't we?

Do it right - burn the scrote AND his scooter :D

Nah seriously, it can be hard to tell from the back if you're looking at a funeral procession or just a couple of black cars going too slow. Particularly if you're not paying attention and not looking much further than 6 feet in front of you - which can often be an accurate stereotype of teenage scoot riders the world over.

So perhaps he overtook a couple of slow moving cars before realising he'd just jumped midway into a funeral, then overcome with remorse he followed to the cemetary, bought some flowers for the deceased, helped an old lady across the road and did many more good deeds throughout the day...

I know what you mean. Meg wears a cross aid and people automatically think she is either hard of hearing or deaf. So they shout when they talk to her.

She tells them they do not need to shout. That's why she is wearing hearing aids. :lol:
