Scary people you have over there in the UK!
Here it's common to see the few people (myself included) who have somewhere to go and who want to get there this week, swapping lanes in an effort to maintain {speed limit + 10}kph. The rest of the drivers are either the ditherers (30%) or sitting behind them too asleep to care (60%), and it doesn't occur to anyone that they're being untertaken and should attempt to kill the.. um.. undertaker.
The other day I was being held up by a Subaru with an old couple inside who have probably only ever driven bicycles before moving to NZ. I shifted down to 1st gear to overtake (that's how fast we were going), floored it, and as I pulled around their car my Alfa surprised me by spinning up a wheel, with the revs and the rubber and the madness. If the Subaru drivers even noticed (doubtful), they probably thought I was madder than I was.
