 That was close - legacylad
I’m over it now.
I didn’t see it as ‘a risk’ as I’ve overtaken slower traffic on that particular stretch more times than I can remember over the past 20 years. And I’m very, very aware when overtaking more than one vehicle of driver/s in front not assessing the overtaking opportunity as quickly as myself. Local knowledge is a great help and I allow for that. In this case Joe Le Taxi had multiple earlier opportunities to overtake the slow vehicle in front. So my thinking was he wouldn’t on this occasion, and I hesitated a few seconds just in case he did. It was a Berlingo/Partner type taxi so with due respect to them not the best in gear acceleration vehicle.
It is what it is.
The main dealer tyre price was almost £300 more for 4 new tyres so I’m using Black Circles, and get Barbie recovered to my nominated fitter in due course.
