Back last year in southwest France…. driving on a main road what was virtually empty of any traffic in any direction, about 3 cars wide, mainly straight but with the odd gentle curve, a bit undulating but plenty of easy, safe overtaking possible and easy.
We’re travelling at around 90 kph, car appears is behind us in the distance and is very quickly up behind us (probably travelling at 100kph+. On catching up with us it sits about 3 metres from our rear bumper, I move a bit nearer the curb…. no reaction, after a bit I slow down a bit, no reactio,n I speed up to 90 again, no reaction… I start to gradually slow down and repeat….
So now I’m really pissed off…. gradually slow down until I’m down to around 20kph…. Hurrah, they eventually overtake. During all of this there has been no traffic in either direction.
