I'm with Ginger. If the vehicle is doing 'just' under a 60 speed limit and I was going to overtake I would prob end up doing 70 at the end because I like to spend the least amount of time as possible in the opposite lane. If the circumstances allow me the end up doing 70, or if I'm on a 'spirited' ride, then I'll happily go for it. However if I'm in no rush, or the weather/traffic/presence of police mean that it's not a good idea then I'll back off. I don't see the need to overtake something because its in front of me.
I use the same policy with filtering, especially on the motorway. If the traffics doing 40 or more then I don't bother.
