Should we have a gentlemens agreement of no overtaking of other Ss at Sm3 ?

I hadn't realised that this sort of thing went on at Supermeets. I agree with DB. 100%
I would have hoped that the members here were sensible enough not to behave like the Friday night max power boys at the local retail park.

Wouldn't go that far! I think possibly a quick briefing on the day of things to be aware of when driving in convoy (as the testosterone levels can rise in both men AND women) would be all that is required.

Avoidable accidents such as:

- pulling out of junctions before the car in front has moved
- crossing the lanes on a blind bend / hills
- observing possibilities of other cars adjoining the highway
- checking behind/side before overtaking
- hitting the brakes mid-bend
- "driving in hope and forgetting that on these roads traffic comes from the opposite direction with total closing speeds of over 120mph and does not always stay on their own side of the road" ... those sort of impacts can "sting" a bit the following morning.

Could I suggest adding adding a warning about wild animals possibly being encountered ? While not quite a 120mph closing speed - these can put a spin on things.
