How true.

Bikers know how to deal with drivers like that.
Mind you the Roadster can make a fair fist of the bike style "Cake Slice" overtake.

"Cake Slice Overtake?" I hear you all ask. It goes like this

1. Pull up a car's length behind the target moving at the same speed but in a gear that gives you the best "go".
2. Move out so you can see past the target.
3. If clear move fully into the clear lane and floor it.
4. Blatt past the target making a lot of noise and frightning the idiot.
5. Pull back in front and carry on "making good progress".

It only works if you have a vehicle with very rapid acceleration in the 30 to 60 zone.

It is inherently safe as you only go if clear and once past the target it is easy to get back on your side quickly.

I should think a new +8 with side exhausts would make it a wonderous experience.....
