Always wondered if it would start a spontanious race by race doing that... Does it?Originally Posted by Headbanger
Never happens. I don't go faster than my fellow traffic jammers
I slow down, let him know I am there, and then when space I pass.
I keep my speed and he is history.
Of respect I will slow down to his speed and stay there.
I show him how it is done (in educational purpose only!)

Apparently being in a car doing "all the law requires" doesn't exempt you from being swished past.
It's easy really. If someone is going slower than you want to, pass them in a safe manner. If someone is behind you, wanting to go faster than you are, just let them pass - hell, help them pass if you can.
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

If someone would put them in writing they'd be a lot easier to find
If I catch them I pass them, I don't waste my time making sure they know I am there, but I treat them as any other road user and expect them to do dumb shit

Well it seems that despite themselves most of the riders here in KB actually do what most of us consider is the right thing.
We slow, we advertise our presence and then when safe we overtake.
Give yourselves a big hand!@#$%.
My pet hate of late are riders splitting traffic while the traffic is moving at 50 K's plus per hour, if it's stopped it's fair game guys and girls, but when it's moving at anything over lets say 15 -20K's ph it is definitely not a good idea to be powering through it at 75 or more K's ph!
I'd predict that the day a fool does have an accident doing this will be the day our unofficial blind eye to splitting will be wide open and no longer blind!
Suggest you sprot bike riders on the southern heading north in the mornings take bloody Note.

We all owe it to other motorists to facilitate where we can, if you don't think someone has seen you, you have a responsibility to either not take the passing opportunity, or take some action to alert him you are there before you go. A simple headlights-on-full and a swerve around is often all it takes.
Er, yeah it takes so little to trigger one of those, and so much work to un-trigger it. Usually a resound thrashing makes them give up.
I tend to agree with you here. It's nice having the law on our side for something we enjoy so much - the last thing we need is clowns taking the way-overkill approach and getting the rules changed. One hopes the govt might use existing law such as dangerous driving to bag them, rather than legislating against filtering holus-bolus.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to retire having been beaten by a hyovag either!

Its normally on the motorway in traffic so I just change lanes and pass.

This is pretty much how I handle it too. Just yesterday I passed a couple of bikes, they could have gone much faster than me if they wanted to of course, but they were cruising at their pace and I was cruizing at mine (about 110kph). No drama, just moved to the other side of the road and cruized on past.

If you are asking re the oldest, he is good. Titanium rod in leg and back on bike. The youngest only manage to get bruises and scrapes from his MotoX, but same applies: back on! Thanks for caring!
