Why do some motorists do this?

Most of the time you will not catch them up, There are lots of roads that go on for miles and miles without anything to stop for.

It's because the majority of drivers are like unemployed doctors. No patience.

They're Morons - I'd rather be 10 mins late in this world than 5 mins early in the next one.

they do this because they havent got the brains to work out they are really only going to gain 4 metres, or a shorter lifespan,being a trucker in a rural area its something i encounter everyday,alas they always learn the hard way

Dunno but it's a lovely feeling, isn't it?

It happened to me yesterday. Driving home along the lane at50mph, when this numpty passes me doing about 70.
Got to the level crossing about 1/2 mile along the lane and he`s sat there, waiting for the train to pass.
The laugh is, I live by the track and passed him to turn into the carpark.
Sweet revenge.

actually a higher rate of speed will get you there quicker, the only problem is that you catch up with other cars that slow you down, if it were not for them you would have never pulled up behind the car that passed you.

They're brain dead morons.

They do this because they are either speed junkies or they just don't get the point that speeding is not going to get you there faster. Also...they are more than likely young and have never seen a real accident...But isn't it fun when you catch up to them and they haven't gotten any farther than you?

Have you noticed if they're mostly BMW's? If so then your question answers itself.

Both stem from a lack of understanding of themself

Life in the fast lane...Or death

I know I find that funny also.

The second paragraph - serves them right for speeding, espcially on a corner.

you dont get a thrill out of speeding like them and me =]. btw they did get there faster theyve just been stuck in traffic. but if they are going 100 and your going 60 that must be one slow as.s light!

because as a collective people have become a selfish, selfcentered im the only one that matters so get out of my way and if you get hurt in the process F*#@ you it wasnt my fault you were in my way

oh no,,,it's the kevsta

get it all the time m8,,drive a van,, OK not the fastest thing on the planet but we all get to our destination don't we,,,
carefull drivers actually LIVE to do the something the next day
there is NO excuse for stupid and reckless driving

on the road nine and half hours a day,, you only seen half the plonkers,,,i see the lot and nothing surprises me any more

i dont over take on country roads even if iam stuck behind a tractor,bearing in mind 60 mph on a A-road is different to conditions on a road of the same limit, but more rural,you just been unlucky to witness a sad accident by a inexperanced driver,bear in mind people who can drive fast cant ussually drive slow ,as you know,its the people who drive responsibly and do drive slow are the ones who can do both..

Some drivers just can't stand anyone being in front of them. They don't realise that around the next corner is the next driver who'll be in front of them. It's just not worth the hassle to arrive at your destination 5 minutes earlier. If they want to speed, they should get a racing car and do it properly. Just don't get riled by them, after all it's their funeral they are hurrying to get to"

UCANTCME

BRAIN DEAD.

JUST REMEMBER THAT HELL AINT HALF FULL YET SO SPEED ON BROTHER.

I would say that 95% of drivers who over take me at whatever speed aren't seen by me again, which means they DID get wherever they were going faster than if they had stayed behind me. I would have thought it was obvious that the faster you travel the quicker you reach your destination.

There Drunk!! lol

Very annoying, I have no sympathy for those tree huggers! It can get very annoying because it's quite scary - then I just laugh if it's that serious for them

GARY I

its good fun but not the lampost bit I do it and you are right. but sometimes you may gain a bit of time but nothing worth writing home about but the overall thing is the buzz for me that is stupid I know but true

altima

cuz if you know how to dodge true traffic or know when to let go of the pedal then you can actually get somewhere faster but i find it funny cuz it happens everywhere even in the city not just on a country road and it alot more funny in the city cuz i usually play with them like get next to the car on the other lane and they just end up getting frustrated even more cuz they cant go through but mainly they do it cuz the're IDIOTS as a street racer myself i tell you this you hear of morons that crash while being in a illegal street race & i knew people that die because of that but i think that if you were speeding and suddenlyt lost control then your an idiot cuz if you fix up your car to have more power then you dumb *** shood know that you need to upgrade your suspention so you wont lose control and wrap your car around a tree
