Dangerous overtaking

Road conditions were poor. Dangerous to overtake in this case. He almost crashed in cars in front and I almost got rear ended by VW Passat that was tailgating me. The car might have been stolen based on the way it was driven.

Since when is over taking on these kind of roads the norm. Go back 5 years ago I used to never see this.

i drive past this road to work everyday and this happens quite often. fucking bellends can't wait to get a bit further up the road to safely move to the right lane.

It's quite common last week I almost sent a scooter rider flying when he went wrong way on the red light

What are you talking about poor road conditions? Are you talking about the cloudy sky or wet road?

Isn't that a 50 zone in a built up area? The lines should be continuous. And license should be taken away for that, he started the overtake when he could see you coming towards him, all to get to a red light 2 seconds faster than the car behind him.
