    Hello all

    The other day I was confronted with a situation I never thought I would encounter, I was travelling downhill pretty rapidly and was forced to brake quite a bit as the car in front was tootling along at about 15 to 20 mph. My question is, should I have overtaken the car? and If I had tried to overtake and the buffoon sped up, who would be in the wrong? If any of you have any experience of these issues I’d be very glad to hear it! Thanks!

    Hell yes, if the road way
    Hell yes, if the road way clear and safe to do so. Think about the kudos for you and shame for the driver being passed by a push bike.:)

    Only at the time you were there weighing up all safety concerns ie driver looking for a side street, messing with phone, chatting with passenger can you make a judgement call. Legally I overtake vehicles all the time, when possible, not often as they most obviously travel faster than me.
