It's not very common, most people do 99% of mileage on dual carriageways and if they get on an A road don't know how to do it.
I go up to Norfolk now and then to see my mum and they don't really do dual carriageways there so it's nice to have the opportunity to overtake, just because you can...hold back, drop a cog, accelerate, pull out, floor it

I did some ace overtakes today to and from work. Proper ones in addition to the old sidling up the outside at roundabouts and measuring the timing to get round quicker and cleaner than the 4 cars I would have sat behind. I've learned a lot about momentum over the last month instead of powering past
Living where I do I often get the chance to overtake stuff and do, easily possible even with 75bhp. Been pushed in to the right hand side banking once by a BMW 5 series, I don't know if they didn't realise I was there, or knew full well, but it concentrated me somewhat.
Don't get the flashing lights and things everyone else is on about though.

Ideally you should really move around on foot to maximise the safety benefits.
Either that or avoid stupid

No, that's dangerous too. You could slip and fall. Happens all the time - just watch some day time tv, it's full of people that have slipped on wet floors etcIdeally you should really move around on foot to maximise the safety benefits.

s from 'Brake'.I suggest we should ban all cars, bikes etc and even ban walking. We should all get about be laying on the floor and moving like catapilars. Much safer

Nor me.My commute (23 miles) takes in 8 miles of A road NSL, and I perform an overtake at least once every other day. Since 2008. Never had any flashy main beam shyte from the overtakee.

This is also dangerous, today I was run over by a fatter man also acting like a catapillar, sitting still and doing nothing, now thats safeI suggest we should ban all cars, bikes etc and even ban walking. We should all get about be laying on the floor and moving like catapilars. Much safer

I think one of the most dangerous manoeuvres a driver can do is to plough head first in to a reinforced concrete wall at top speed.The most dangerous manoeuvre a driver can ever do and should be avoided at all costs ...... Apparently
