Well..... yes I know I broke the law but this is my story from yesterday......
I went to overtake an old man ( like 90 ) driving a passat for 25 miles at 40mph. The only straight that was clear so I went for it.... dropped to 3rd and pulled out.
The bloke behind me also pulled out behind me ready also.
The old git in the passat spead up to around 70mph.... so I struggled to get past, there was the other bloke up my arse and a car comming because of the time it was taking to geet past due to him accelerating,
I held her going ( red lined infact......at 123k on the clock
)
hit 85mph and thought she was going to explode...... never again unless I see no other way out
( remember I only have 2 seats, no carpet, no spare, no plastics etc at the moment in her lol
I should have reported the old git but I was worried I might also get busted..... not sure on the law in situations like this.....but I'm guessing even tho I did the only thing I could safely I'd still be in the wrong as well
its the second time something like this has happened to me
Next time I will just ram the old bugger off the road lol
