They were probably doddering along in their Nissan Micra, completely obvious to what's going on around them! You clearly woke them up from their dreamworld.

I've never been overtaken, without knowing that the person behind me has the intention of overtaking.

Exactly and as they overtake ill lift off the throttle.

The amount of fuchtards that do 40mph in a 60 but as you overtake, they speed up.

A good overtake is a dying art these days.

Best reply so far.

I was about to launch into that but the police were already pretty embarrassed.

Agreed..............but was Herefordshire police.

Indeed, overtakes seem to generally be frowned upon. My commute used to be half a mile but now it's 20 miles I enjoy a few nice overtakes. The amount of light flashing you get is unreal as the majority stick frightened to death in 40mph processions.

It's generally worse in the CSL because of the noise.

Had plod phone me after a motorist reported me for overtaking aggressively. I politely informed the officer that it's his word against mine...he agreed....phone call ended.

I got pulled and threatened with an ASBO one night when I was back in Scotland. At the time, I had an unsilenced SS centre section and the GruppeM fitted so it was on the loud side. I think I sold the lot not long after that.

The best ones are the long queues of traffic on the A-Roads, someone at 45mph, 2nd car is afraid to overtake, 3rd car doesn't want to over take 1st and 2nd, 4th guy is driving an Audi and so on and so forth... Then you pick 2nd, Sport on and take the lot of them... at 60mph of course and don't meet another car on your side of the road for 25 miles!

Until of course one of them plucks up the courage and doesn't check their mirrors before pulling out... had that more times than once and of course, it's my fault they didn't check their mirrors isn't it???

Overtook unmarked plod once he then chased me for about 8 miles , I had to slow down going through a small village and he pulled me over and nicked me for straightening the roads out (double white lines) wasn't to bothered because I might have been speeding and had 4 worn out cups on, when he didn't even look at the car I was fairly relieved

The airbox note and subsequent Doppler roar should be enough to remind them not to do it again . . . ever.

I put hybrid badges on mine a year ago and never had any issues with fellow motorists or the police.
They seem to love the environmentally friendly car !
