>>>To be honest unless trapped behind some kind of slow moving agricultural vehicle I rarely bother trying to overtake on a normal two lane road in France unless the visibility is excellent. Driving like a maniac actually reduces journey times by about 5 or 10 minutes.

>>I don't drive like a maniac! It's just that I realize that any one driving slower then me is a b*****y nuisance and shouldn't be allowed on the road. Of course this also applies to anyone drivng faster since such dangerous behaviour will inevitably result in an accident......

>Actually, I just love the fast guys. When one of them overtakes me, then I can step on it and drive just a tad slower than they do. They serve as minefield degustators, i.e. to detect any police ahead.
Maybe I have developed incipient geezerhood. I used to rooster back at those guys (and they are almost invariably guys). Now I would rather have them in front of me than behind me. And more than 18 inches in front of me, like in the old days ;-)
