glad your ok..

you can overtake on any road i'm sure as long as it's safe and you don't break the limit....unless there is solid lines in the middle of the road.....

if you have a lowered car..Without adjusting the valve the car always thinks there is alot of weight in the back and applies more breaking to the rear..
i never done mine when i was down 40mm in my old corsa..never had a problem..

or twats like you shouldnt drive so slow.


well said, but still, theres a time and a place to overtake, good time: dry, straight road, no on-coming traffic - bad: wet, bendy road, muddy

I never notice people speeding up to not let me past as I usually am out of sight before they try

However, the guy did the same and sped up. Next thing I know a 4x4 is coming the other way. I brake and pull in, but i'm going a bit too fast and my car starts to snake down the road and then spins across the round in front of the 4x4 and lands in a ditch on the opposite side of the road, touching a tree. God knows how the hell the 4x4 didnt hit me. Thankfully the tree was just touching my passenger side door and no one was hurt and no damage to the car. I've just learnt a big lession.


think its time you made it faster so they have no chance of speeding up to your speed

i made a mistake of overtaking in a national speed limit on torrential rain on a corner, forced 2 cars off the road to avoid a crash. I was not flavour of the month with my girlfriend at the time.

If the knob was doing 30 in a 40 zone he should expect people to pass him. Instead when someone decides to overtake him he speeds up like a twat. By this he is either trying to make Holly hit a car on the other side of the road or trying to make her pull back in behind his car. Either way he's putting Holly in a dangerous position all because he didn't want to be overtaken. In my opinion it's his fault
