I wonder how you can educate folk out of this behavior , do they have any idea how dreadfully iritating it is ? Had a blonde woman following me yesterday very close for several miles and I could see her trying to look round the front of my car to overtake but she ended up overtaking in a village 30mph limit ! Help !

If it's in a 40mph limit or lower, I just drive more and more slowly and let them past. In 50 or greater limits, I don't tend to find it happens with me

I'm with you Tim, I just go gradually slower and they then eventually overtake, usually with various gestures which are like water off a ducks back, I can then carry on in peace.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

A driving instructor type emergency stop usually does the trick! In my dreams

It is a really bad problem here: I cannot see why they do it. O why they overtake on bends that they can't see around.

Tailgating and not indicating are getting very common these days which must lead to many accidents !

Annoys me at times. If I have to down change in the three wheeler, it's a slow process as you cannot rush a double de-clutch. As a result, I often slow rather more than a modern car and of course, it's done with no brake lights as the brakes are not applied.
Last tailgating twit jumped to the outside lane at a roundabout entry, and got utterly burnt off by a car 80 years older. I can make very good starts, and first gear is good for 45mph...
No indicators on my Morgan. I do make hand signals, but I wonder how many motorists actually understand them. The "I am turning left" one is not particularly obvious.
