So there you have the answer. Never ever overtake ever again. Welcome to the traffic jam to end all traffic jams. Driving through France (usually 650 miles) you have two choices. Stick to 56 MPH and just sit behind the lorries or overtake when it is safe. Option one will get me there in about 14 to 15 hours. Option two. ten to ten and a half hours including stops. I know from experience which is less tiring. Most of the poodlers who hold up traffic believe it is their right to do so. It is the same with the people who insist on sitting in the overtaking lanes on motorways at 70MPH, maybe doing 2 MPH faster than the vehicle they are overtaking. If you have ever taken the police driving course you will know that you are taught to overtake as quickly as possible so you can pull back in in the shortest possible time. Our police drivers are some of the best drivers in the world which is why I taught my pupils to drive according to their edicts, and why I still drive that way myself. Their motto is SAFETY FAST.
Fast driving does not have to be dangerous driving.
Actually if you have to crash the brick wall is one of the best options. They tend to give. What you do not want to hit is a tree. They are very unforgiving.
