As most people seemingly can't do/maintain 120 km/h on an open motorway - but will do 10-20 km/h under it - those of us who can will inevitably end up gaining on them and thus need to overtake to continue, especially when one of these people comes up behind an even slower vehicle - like say a truck. However, with such a limited variance in speed, the actual overtaking move will take far longer and indeed encourage idiots that they can make their stupid manoeuvre without causing a problem. I wasn't in any rush tonight but I noticed several example of idiots taking chances as a result of the above. It's actually MORE dangerous in my opinion that "speeding" because in the latter case you would be past them quicker and the great difference in speed discourages their stupidity in the first place as they'd see you move out and gain on them faster. Then there was the scummer who nearly caused a pile-up an hour earlier by cutting across me from the outside lane in an attempt to undertake a car ahead of him which he'd actually successfully intimidated enough that it was moving over anyway. As a side note, Quattro and quick reactions FTW. Yer man then nearly swipes the front of my car and the back of the other one, but do our girls n boys in blue care - nope, cause it was a NI reg hatchback and while I could go making a statement, the response was such that there's no point (car mightn't be here tomorrow/could be a tourist/not on the system etc). Our heroes did say they'd put the word out but didn't seem overly optimistic/interested. Fun evening eh? :mad:
