Same problem on the bike!!
There's a few downhills that I sometimes go down*, that are easily descended at 50 - 60MPH!
Cars pull out (or are descending slowly) & certainly don't expect a lycra-clad rider to overtake them :lol:
* For the benefit of the 'Yorkies', the main culprits are;
Holme-Moss (A6024) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holme_Moss
East Chevin (Otley) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chevin (if you look at the clock tower picture, East Chevin rises straight up to the top of that hill :shock:
Norwood Edge (harsh & cruel, as it twists & turns)
Snake Pass (A57 - in red, heading west, down into Glossop) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Pass

There was a plank in a red 206 tonight who didn't know how roundabouts work ,
From Bangor up to the 55 there is a roundabout that crosses over the 55 two lanes in and two out followed by another round about ,
I go straight across the first one and turn right at the next so I appoach in the right lane go straight across then turn right at the next ,During this manouver the other driver or plank as he shall be known aproaches in the same lane as me then overtakes on the ouside of the roundabout cutting up a white van, then starts to drift back into my lane as he's going my way :shock:
The look on his face when I pretended he wasn't there and floored it off the roundabout was priceless :twisted: he then proceded to flash ,honk and wave at me untill we came to the next roundabout where a traffic car was doing laps waiting for him (must have seen the flash headlights) they came round behind him and the blues came on :lol: :lol:
Hope they held him up for a while as he was in an awful hurry :twisted: :twisted:
And from the state of the car (you see the coppers do it on TV ,spot the dodgy car at 200 yards) I'd put money on it having no mot/tax/insurance..

the thing i miss is the hilux.... the buck sits at normal bonnet height... under hard breaking it rose, by a few inches... upon stopping/easing off the brakes, it returned to normal position.....
....can you all guess what happened when i had to brake hard with the "al kayeeda cab driver" sat on my ass??
i think he learnt his lesson..... that and how to replace a bonnet... :lol:

I had a rubbish day on friday and went to pick up my missus, on the way to our beloved Public house ;)
a rep mobile VW Pass(h)at had its left idicator turning right, when i signaled my horn to alert my presence, he and his shirted boy friend were offering me hand signals, some sort of directions i think :huh:
Unfortunatly for him i followed him behind a few cars that had turned out in front of me and had a word with him when he pulled on to his drive way,
Turns out he wasnt that brave after all! Its amazing what a few tattoos do to peoples perception of you! lol
Disco Matt:
You don't even need the tattoos with one of these. I had one Volvo convertible driver mouthing all sorts of obscenities at me for daring to obey a temporary 50mph limit through roadworks. Oddly enough he only felt brave enough to do so from a couple of car lengths away, you'd have thought he'd come closer if he really wanted me to hear :lol:
