it's really wankery.
I had a lady behind me yesterday who tried to overtake me as a car was pulling out from a junction into the oncoming lane.
I looked behind and took the lane to block her, and gave the customary tap the helmet 'use your brain you fucking idiot' hand signal.
Less than a minute later she overtakes on a bend while a car is coming towards in the oncoming lane, then 50 metres later she has to slow for a speed bump, then stop for a traffic queue, at which point I filter past (making sure to slow down and give her an exadurated head shake and look of extreme unimpressedness)I reckon 90% of shit overtakes are just down to people being impatient. the fucking nobs.
That's the fucking worst. The biggest argument I ever got into in traffic was when some fuckhead beeped at me because I was taking the lane about 50m before a traffic jam. To this day, I don't understand what the motivation was. There's a fucking queue in front of you. Overtaking me makes absolutely no difference.
