Have you ever overtaken a car behind another car overtaking to realise he has no power and it takes forever with you stuck behind the overtaking car?

Worse still have you ever been overtaking someone who accelerated to make it hard for you.

I really recommend passing with speed in hand rather than trying to accelerate round a car unless you have plenty of road and you are confident the power balance is in your favour.

Whos had some near misses overtaking then? I know I came pretty close once - a dip in the road concealed and oncoming car and I had to cut in pretty quick, thankfully the car I was overtaking braked to let me in. I lost my appetite for overtaking for a while after that one.
