LHD VW camper on a bright sunny day smokes its way past me, extremely slowly, like 1mph more than I'm going (15mph), there's no other traffic, approaching the end of some parked cars he just slowly drifts into the space as I'm alongside the rear wheel.
Could see it coming so pulled back and went around, stopped and politely asked him why he was trying to flatten me into some parked cars, his response, 'thought I passed you ages ago, didn't know you were still there'
Erm, you passed at granddad speed, then didn't go any faster! Last time I checked, the owness is on the overtaking vehicle to ensure they can safely pass the vehicle in front without affecting it, not just sort of drift past, then drift into a space without looking, indicating or even making a move in a clear manor.
Anyway, he apologised, and I suggested he be a bit more observant, hopefully both learn't something from it.
