Well, yes, and because it means your Observation isn't up to scratch since you should have spotted the camera/ van/ copper in time to do something about it!
No, but I never said they were. That was, of course, also why the Examiner asked me to explain my reasoning about going for the overtake and my thought processes whilst doing so. So when I detailed the observations I'd made prior to it for potential hazards such as side-turnings, oncoming traffic etc and how I was watching the second car in the group of three to check that he wasn't moving up/ outwards looking for his own overtake (possibly without checking his mirrors) and how I was ready to back out if necessary he accepted that I was doing it safely and had no problems passing me.

Quote:yes on a well thought out overtake, use the acceleration of the machine...but that doesnt mean big speed multi car overtakes are the norm.
