Azrael

Azrael, I understand what you mean, however, the fact that I drive a powerful car which is capable of 160mph speeds doesn't mean I drive at that speed all the time everywhere Nor do I have to.

I may have two children and a wife in the car, and if I feel 100mph is fast enough for the road condition, so be it, I won't be pressurised into going faster by someone who wants to. I won't take the risks...

I am within my own right to overtake at whatever speed is above those I am overtaking, as long as I move back into the inside lane when appropriate to let others past.

To be honest, if a car takes miles to reach those speeds, it is probably VERY unsafe to drive at those speeds, even more so, when you are stuck to someone's bumper with nowhere to go in case of emergency Probably with much more powerful brakes too

I often have to slow down for other people in the outside lane on UK motorways, I give them space to complete their manoeuvre and then overtake them when I can, I don't sit on their bumper, that usually results in the opposite of what I want, they sit there and block me

PS: I wasn't blocking, the guy arrived in my rear view mirror long AFTER I started overtaking, and suddenly filled it with his bumper
I was overtaking a long line of lorries, should I have slipped in between two lorries and slammed the brakes on to let him past ???
