Near thing!

Funnily what Ferrit said was what happened on my Bike Safe.

Hi, Is that right, you felt that they just wanted speed from you?

[mottza]

It seemed all about progress and speed (bearing in mind you have limits with a 250 scoot say against a 500 motorbike).

I had to bit my lip a few times.

[Ferrit]

I am all for overtaking, but when I get told off for not overtaking on a narrow country lane when I and the car in front were both doing 55 seems silly to risk my life for an extra 5 mph. No overtake is 100% safe no matter how well it is planned.

[mottza]

Totally agree. I was told off for doing the same but was also approaching a 30 limit about 1/4 mile ahead. The BikeSafe chap called me a liar in as many words a few times when I said I could of overtook if I wanted but didn't feel the need to.

Later on the afternoon when I had enough I actually gave the Leo a hard ride I was told off for going too fast down a road that I know very well and know the hidden enterances etc.
