Nisoko 6 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I was driving on a road today for about 20 minutes behind this old bloke driving along at about 20kmh. It was a fairly narrow and windy road and so really almost nowhere to overtake. Having said that, anything less than 40kmh on that road is just silly. He didn't let me pass - the guy probably didn't even see me, when I eventually overtook him he looked like a zombified 90 year old. Drivers like that drive me nuts. 20km should be a crime! Perhaps I should just stop for 10 minutes and let him pull away (!) to avoid the frustration! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 were there others behind you? Were they up on your tail? That gets annoying no end too. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Give them a beep and put on the pressure. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 LOL! I got that a few weeks ago on route 141 to Nagano, hardly any where to overtake and had to follow some old grandad for ages, in the end I whipped past him, just so damm annoying! Unlike the UK all the roads here even open roads that are dead straigt for miles have those solid yellow lines that you are not suppose to overtake on. Most are also 40 kph speed limits, I mean 40 on an open road with modern day cars, I go faster than that on my bicycle!! The trafic laws and speed limits here are from the dinasaur age!

Jynxx 4 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 If it's straight, you have clear view, then damn those solid lines and overtake. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I would have kept my hand on the horn until he let me pass. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 why would he let you pass if you had your hand on your tool? Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I hope he had his pear-drop "I'm old" sticker. Bet it was one of those little white vans as well? Link to post Share on other sites

gaijindrifter 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 First, use polite hand signals If that doesn't work, beep a few times If that doesn't work, use offensive hand signals If that doesn't work, beep some more and tail him... or in other words, be a little American Link to post Share on other sites
