So when you are stuck behind a line of cars on a two way road which allows overtaking, but there is a steady but with gaps stream of cars coming the other way. The lead car is going 5/10k's below the speed limit. But the cars immeadiately behind it dont overtake, they just follow along.
This is a job for Car Hopping!
On a motorbike you can overtake one/two cars at a time in the gaps of the oncoming traffic, very easy if you speed.
But here's the thing...
I have trouble justifying car hopping. there is speeding involved, every other car in the line has decided that the low speed of the lead car is not worth the effort to overtake. Its also not a defensive/safe driving style.
And consider, the person who i first noticed doing this was my ex flatmate, and he has lost his licence twice, 6 months the first time and 1 yr the second, and has been involved in 2or3 minor accidents... Is this the kind of person I should be emulating?
On the other hand, damn car is going slow and I'm impatient!
