I get this a lot to be honest on my commute to work , there will be a massive truck in the slow lane on the Dual carriageway and I will be zipping along at "a nice speed" . Some dolt will burn right up to the back of the truck and sit there , I have already moved to the outer lane in anticipation of having to overtake in advance . They will suddenly decide , after about 40 seconds of sitting behind a truck , to overtake it on a hilly part of the road and crawl along barely managing with their tiny 1 litre engine .

There is nobody behind me for miles , nobody ahead but these spam javelins in a Nissan potato , why they couldn`t wait and be courteous by letting me waft past first and then overtake the truck after I pass is beyond me . I decided a long time ago not to gun it past them to get my overtake in first otherwise I`ll be treated to a glancing blow from a SMIDSY type accident which will be at motorway speeds and not pretty . Patience is key to all of this but it is very hard to sit there and not use the full potential that our machines have .......

BUT , I am going to admit I rode like a complete tool last Wednesday as I was late for work after the Dog decided to redecorate the Kitchen floor with half chewed biscuits and Vomm . I did 2 undertakes as people were plainly dawdling at 60 in the outer lane with jack all in front of them and had loads of room to get into the inner lane . It was done in the manner that Red Herring mentioned by watching them for a bit and assessing that they were "unlikely" to just pull back into the inner lane , I did feel like I had broken the law in some massive way and was expecting a SWAT team to abseil from a helicopter and empty a brace of M16`s into my face .
