27 mph Is Too Slow For NK52 FZZ, Overtaking With Oncoming Traffic

[andywizkid]

A little close for comfort I would have said....no problem with him wanting to go faster...who doesn't in London...lol but his forward planning for the overtake was dangerous!!

@andywizkid

The timing of that overtake was pretty awful and besides, what's wrong with obeying the speed limit? There's little point in trying to go faster, particularly in London where there are so many other road users and so many cameras.

There is something quite satisfying overtaking them back - half a mile/mile down the road though isn't there. Have cyclists not come up with a special demeaning term for this yet? :)

@MelloVEL0

LOL, yeah, it's great when they've got far enough ahead to forget you and then you come sailing by to remind them! :) Always puts a smile on my face!

@MelloVEL0 Yeah, it's calling out to the driver "I think you need a faster car mate."

[NottinghamCyclist]

He looked like he was going more than 30. Naughty boy :)

@NottinghamCyclist Yes but he wanted to sit in that queue for 10seconds longer ;-)

[kmcyc]

@HLaB75

Yeah, AND give me the perfect opportunity to pass him back! LOL

@NottinghamCyclist

So, you'd say he was going more than 3 mph faster than me then? ;)

I hope his insurance company know that he takes STUPID risks like that.

@gadgetmind

Oooh I bet they'd just love to know he drives like that!
