There's so much open to interpretation on this topic, one persons "near miss" is anothers "close pass no problem" One persons "circuit nutter" is anothers "quick rider" One thing that isn't open to question is when contact is made. Different riders react differently, the same pass on different riders can cause different reactions........."hmmm, quick rider" to "shite I need to pick the bike up and head for the gravel" The crux is knowing how the person you are passing is going to react, i.e. are your actions gonna cause a problem for the person you are overtaking. Difficult, but not impossible and where you choose to pass and how close is a big factor IMHO, Ray |
