What's with all the overtaking ?
Slow down, take a deep breath and go with it for a while.
Relax.
I would access if the overtaking is necessary, like if I'm going to turn off soon or near my destination. Slow down, take a deep breath and go with it for a while.
Relax.
Overtaking is a skill set to have. It is one examined on in any advanced driving test. I find if I'm out of practice, my overtaking becomes rusty, like many other aspects of my skills.

I was in the Audi the other day and the guy in front was messing about, not attempting to pass the two lorrys, as I started to pass him, would you beleive it? he pulled out in front of me and held me up...
may be the other side to this?
suddenly woke up and acted like a muppet, what was he driving ? an 'arseperational' motor ? or a hateful breeder mobile ?may be the other side to this?

Not the other side of this incident, given the op posted back in August. may be the other side to this?

You sound like you're bringing too much stress and impatience to your overtaking. Slow down, take a deep breath, relax and - when the opportunity presents - drive past and carry on with your day. A good overtake is one of the most satisfying, calming things in driving Slow down, take a deep breath and go with it for a while.
Relax.

Overtaking is overtaking, however it is negotiated.
What on Earth are you talking about? Are you trolling or just an idiot?All overtakes are the same?
I literally cannot remember ever having upset anyone with an overtake!
a 'boomerang / banana' on a clear road or a properly executed roadcraft overtake when there is an opossing vehicle with space after is stress free for all involved ...

Certainly not the overtaking that I have witnessed over the easter weekend. Too fast, too close, near oncoming traffic etc. Words f
No doubt. Plenty of overtakes aren't executed well, including the preparation. So don't overtake like that. If your response to the fact that some people don't do overtaking very well is to decide not to do overtaking yourself, that's an awful lot of your own baby you're throwing out with other people's bath water.Plenty of people do not plan or execute their motorway joins very well. Do you therefore advocate not driving on motorways?

I know the road very well and it can be a nightmare.
I use to occasionally drive over with my dad in his citroen c1.
Basically I didn't bother with overtakes till the duel carriageway!
If ever in the wife's Polo I'd usually let the faster cars go and then follow if I could...
In the RS6 however, it usually had enough poke to either follow someone then zip past them as well or take the lead.
It can be annoying when a slower car pulls out but hardly the end of the world and usually a few places to get past if you really need to.
Some people are just to impatient.
More to life than worrying about a few minutes shaved here n there.
