...Who don't overtake.

Today, driving along the single lane bypass, a sportsbike came up behind me (i'm in the Porsche). I see the rider in plenty of time (hard to miss with his lights on!) and pull as far over to the left hand side as possble

( I know he's going to overtake, so why not make it as safe as possible for him...)

But here's the rub. He does'nt. He's perfectly happy to stay there.

This annoys me. Firstly, he blinds me with his lights.

Secondly, I am anticipating him overtaking me, so I find myself looking in the rear mirror too much. This un-nerves me, as I want to know where he is at all times.

very annoying. I thought the whole idea of owning a bike was to overtake people like me (who wasn't speeding, btw)

Rant over. I respect the bikers. And the noise some make! Woah!
