Why, why, why

Gday Woolly and welcome to the forum I don't think anyone will be able to tell you why as it doesn't make any sense and we have probably all experienced it at some time, its almost as annoying as when you are pulling a van and try to merge from an overtaking lane back into main stream and nobody will let you back in.

Good morning Woolly

Those sort of drivers are usually the ones that travel just below the speed limit and when there is an overtaking lane will speed up so that you cannot go past them and then slow down again when the overtaking lane finishes. At least the ones you nearly collected actually put their blinkers on!

I sometimes think people either don't have mirrors, or don't use them!! If we see someone out there, we slow down till they get past - we are not in a hurry to get anywhere - especially not to a panel shop!!!! or hospital!!!!

What annoys me as well are the ones who sit right beside you as you try to enter back into the main lane. Have been pushed over into the gravel a couple times and stop till they move on.
They obviously have over estimated the strength to overtake. I always pull back slightly when another comes up in the passing lane to allow them to get past.

i change into the right lane as soon as the sign on purpose

numerous times i have been patient and hung back only for idiots to sit beside me and wait for the lane to run out

after running the gravel a few times i stopped being thoughtfull

i find overtakers speed up when they see the sign and think its the last chance to go and then sit beside you..............

it works both ways

Welcome to the forum Woolly. Hope your experience on here is better than your experience on the road. And no, no one knows why that happens except perhaps thoughtlessness.
