Anti overtaking brigade on PH.
Discussion
Had a cross country jaunt tonight frommHull to Scarborough. It's a trip I do regularly and expect to make a few overtakes usually due to the 45mph brigade.
I was making progress at about 60 mph and found I was gaining fairly quickly on an Audi estate, so popped passed him. No problem. A few minutes later (by this time he'd gone out of sight in my rear view mirror) becomes storming back up behind me and passed me. Again no problems.
Until I come across him a couple of miles later again dawdling. Was at the top of a nice down hill section with about a mile visible below..nothing coming... overtook him again (didn't have to increase me speed even, just out and around him).
He kept up this time, and when I got to Staxton I pulled in to make a phone call (there's a car park thing there). He pulled in behind me and came storming up to my car having a rant about "how are you overtake me".
The car had a PH sticker on the back. Was badges as an RS4 (dunno if it was, but it was a pretty beefy sounding petrol).
All a bit odd really. Definitely the red faced company director type though.

People hate being overtaken as they can't handle the dent in their pride. One of the reasons I don't do track days more frequently is because people turn them into a race.

k off, and in all honesty i don't often do that 
I don't mind dawdlers on NSL roads. I get a little buzz from overtaking, the acceleration, the 'danger' (???) and the clear road in front after the overtake....
I dread getting stuck behind the driver who drives full pelt along the straights and then 30mph in the twisties. Immensely frustrating!
