The driver in front of you is doing 45mph so you decide to overtake. As you pull alongside, they then decide to put their foot down. You then accelerate too so that you can safely pull back in. During the course of this you reach 75mph - are you in the shit for breaking the speed limit or is the other driver in the pooh for dangerous driving?

I appreciate 4D is a cunt but how anyone couldn't interpret his question without that explanation should be put down

Why not just slow down and drop in behind them?

I think you'd be in the shit for dangerous driving surely. |

Some drivers drive well below the speed limit but don't like being overtaken, surely we've all experienced this? I have dropped back in before FH but it's not always easy or feaseable.

Why would you not be able to pull in behind a car that is accelerating? It is, after all, accelerating.

If someone 'stopped' you from overtaking then they are a prat and are driving dangerously. |

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

What 4D is asking, albeit not very well, is how the courts would look upon somebody that was forced into speeding through another person's actions.
I'd imagine and hope that they'd use some common sense. I'd also imagine they'd expect you to convince them you were forced into it because it sound very bloody unlikely. I'm not quite sure of the point of the question either to be honest.

I had an accident once when a couple of vehicles I was overtaking were doing 50mph in a 60. One of the cars decided to pull out and hit me side on. They try to make out I was speeding. Yes I was doing over 60mph but the highway code states 'that you need to overtake quickly and safely'.
The law was on my side.
