New vid: Pointless overtake

[Archie]

For your entertainment ladies and gentlemen (well it amused me anyway ).

The video doesn't show the side view but as they were alongside I stopped pedalling and looked across at the driver. Nary a glance as she continued on her merry way so I'm guessing she'd sussed it wasn't the most brilliant decision she'd made that day, but it's nice to see the commitment to follow through! I'd expect to have caught the silver car in the distance by the bottom of the hill, and indeed we did so the overtake didn't hold me up too much, but it shows how fast they shifted to justify the manoeuvre.

Jake, stand down, you've seen this mate.

She was definitely trying to justify the overtake with that speed - you'd never bounce like that otherwise.
They look like pretty substantial speed bumps.

They do that to me so often.

Reminded me of the opening titles to "Hill Street Blues".

One of the worst driven cars the ancient Mondeo, that one however was slightly unusual in that the rear bumper was not held together with Duck tape.

Wasn't particularly dangerous, just a bit cretinous, I liked the breathing down her neck

 

[BentMikey]

That was funny!

I reckon she was pedalling it.

*got to beat the bike got to beat the bike* mantra style.

Ooooh, it's your suspension love. That's a big job, it's gonny cost you.....

I do hate it when they overtake for the sake of it, and then end up holding you up!!

knobbers.

 

[J4CKO]

I think its conditioned, automatic response, "Must overtake bike", along with "Middle lane good, inside lane bad, outside lane scary"

Perhaps that was why she had the car bouncing up and down... best thrill of her day

Great video - good choice of music too -

 

[Riding in Circles]

She had no choice but to pass you, she was in a car so you were the inferior road user, stands to reason.
