I also sold a 1952 Bown Deluxe 98cc which the wife bought during the Suez crisis. I was itching for another bike - w... |

| There needs to be another option, start tailgaiting 1mm from the bumper of the car in front! Seriously though, it takes an extreme case to make me under take. I has a friend prosicuted under just the circumstances you have described. Empty road, one car in lane 2. He waited and waited and then under... |

| If the road is empty use it! Only in our nanny state is it thought that people can only check one mirror at the most. Even the septic tanks manage more than one moving lane of traffic, even up to 5 and they are brain dead. Angry as a Skate. Les Chalards Master of Fishmongey (retr.) :twisted: |

| I am often asked why I overtake with oncoming traffic clearly visible. It simple - I like to see whats coming, far safer. No nasty shocks everything in view. Sadly most drivers don't realise that on most roads there is room for four vehicles abreast so three is really no problem. Occasionaly people ... |
