Unsurprising :z
Anyway, ignoring the axe grinding, I invite everyone to have a look at the situation yourself...
Here's the link to Google Streetview http://goo.gl/maps/ysHqV (ignore where it says Lasham Airfield, that was just the easiest way to locate the place)
Pan left and you can see where the bikes were coming from.
Pan right and you can see the double white lines leading up to the National Limit sign, a bit of a left hander (and a dip that I'd forgotten about but which could also have hidden an oncoming vehicle) and then the right hander up ahead.
Now imagine you're coming from where those bikes were. You're in a 40 limit, there's double whites, there's traffic pulling out from your left, there's a dip which could hide a vehicle, there's a right-hander ahead that you can't see round.
Would *you* have gone for an overtake in that situation?
