Sounds like you didn't explain it in the best way, but 2 seconds isn't enough to justify the lynching you're getting here. People really need to chill out a bit as you don't seem to have been speed policing, just not doing a warp factor 9 overtake, which isn't anything to complain about.
No (intentional) lynching here. It was just the comment that he was going the speed limit so nobody should want to overtake anyway. That's the kind of nonsense that MLMs trot out to justify their appalling and dangerous driving.The OP seems to have been driving perfectly well, so I withdraw any lynching.
I meant that he could not complain about my speed,I was not going to speed just because he wanted to. Especially as the cops are often on the next slip road! If he wants to speed then he is welcome to,but I wasn't going to be bullied into speeding or pulling into L1 just to be jammed in behind the car I was overtaking
Anyway,no lynching so all mates again

Mr. Impatient giving me grief this morning as I was waiting behind a bin lorry.
See below. White box is bin lorry, red box is me, blue box is Audi.
This is about 30 seconds from my house, I come up the road and the bin men have moved forward to their position and are emptying the bins from the houses to the left.
The Streetview picture, the front of the bin lorry was where the back of that van is, on the joint in the road.
So I slow down and stop behind the bin truck while the guys do their job. Cars are steadily coming past us from the opposite direction. We were there for 15-20 seconds max, yet Mr. Important still had to beep his horn, flash his lights and shout / gesture at me to overtake the bin truck.
The gap between the truck and the splitter island was a car length at best. Add to that the fact that this was metres from a roundabout with cars still passing us every few seconds and the bin lorry could pull forward at any moment, I thought it safest to hold back and wait. Clearly the guy behind didn't agree

Hardly the biggest knob, but the young lad in the chavved up Fiesta who roared up behind me on my way to work earlier. I expected some tailgating and I got a bit of that, but it did give me the chance to see his very pretty but very bored looking girlfriend in the passenger seat. After a moment of that he roared passed me, exhaust popping and banging, but I was highly amused to see that someone had written the word "C**T" in the dirt on his rear window. He did act a bit of a one to be fair...
A fat balding middle aged man in a brown Mondeo tailgating me while I was in the flow of traffic going 30 in a 30 zone, wouldn't have thought much of it but his driving position was comical, hand at 12o'clock and almost sideways in his seat, kept doing weird looks with his face, think he thought he was 17 and in a Corsa.
We took three right turns and he turned left later behind me, he didn't indicate once.

The chavvy teen/early twenties idiot riding a shabby mountain bike from Fleet to Farnborough on Fleet Road at five to midnight tonight.
1. No lights. None whatsoever.
2. No reflectors anywhere but on his pedals.
3. Dressed head to toe in dark grey and black clothing with his hood up.
4. Here's the definition of idiocy - not only was he virtually invisible from any sort of distance, but he was riding in the right hand lane of the single carriageway road, more commonly referred to as the "wrong" lane. This isn't a street-lit road either. I fear Darwin is calling this one,and it'll be sooner rather than later.
So I shouted over to him that it might be a good idea to get some lights. At this he virtually blew a blood vessel, calling me a c
t, chasing after me (or at least trying to) and threatening to "rip off my head" and "break my legs". Nice chap! Anyway, as I was all Lycra'd up and on my road bike, I decided I'd had enough, pedalled off, and left him to his fate.

Sounds like he's probably off to pinch something. Maybe he had the bike! 1. No lights. None whatsoever.

Saw an evo today with a shonky ass harness bar and 2 kids in the back 
Probably the worst thing I've ever seen in relation to cars. Guy was driving like a tit too. Those kids are dead if they ever have even the most benign crash.
I was driving on the A14 the other day through the average speed section near Cambridge. Probably the worst thing I've ever seen in relation to cars. Guy was driving like a tit too. Those kids are dead if they ever have even the most benign crash.
I was tailgated by a WAG in an Audi A1 who was on her phone the whole time. When she overtook me, I noticed that there was a kid, probably no more than 6, completely unrestrained, jumping around in the back. FFS!

There is some unbelievably retarded driving displayed in Cambridge.The personalised number plate range rover knob who drove down this road at 30mph
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.571797,-0.338449...
Too fast for the conditions anyway, but what made it worse was that I was parked on the right hand side of the road, behind another car.
I indicated and pulled out slightly to get a better view. A driver in a Micra coming towards me saw this, stopped and flashed his lights to let me out.
The Range Rover sped past him, hard up against the pavement on the other side of the road and regardless of any traffic approaching.

I live on a busy road, which is also a steep hill. At the bottom it is just wide enough for two cars, but they'd be touching mirrors, and it narrows halfway up. Walking down the hill today and there was a Berlingo van or suchlike coming up, followed by a middle aged lady in a Peugeot. Don't know the model, one of the blobby new ones. For some reason she went for the overtake, cramming herself beside the van. The road narrowed and I stepped out of the way fully anticipating her to mount the kerb. Luckily for me the pavement deflected her and I winced as she scrubbed her alloys along it before hitting the brakes. The funniest part was, she then started honking her horn at the van driver! Clueless.
