Why the MGIF?
After this morning's MGIF incident and the bizarre interpretation of events (undertaking meaning "being subject to an abortive overtake" apparently), on the way home tonight: Dual carriageway, 2 lanes, not particularly congested but an L-driver and a few cars up in front meaning I am keeping more or less pace (the pace of cars was variable due to the lead learner). Small car overtakes with reasonable room although brake lights and a red light up ahead mean that it is pointless - traffic begins to move off but the car just overtaken is sitting there "faffing". At this point I did pass the now stationary car as I had my momentum up.
30 seconds later, this time approaching lights and queue very close she pulls the overtake but hasn't time to get in then brake, so pulls in on me and brakes with me alongside. Give a "WTF" as I emerge from the side and carry on with the traffic that again has just started moving, this time taking a strong position.
Eventually at lights further up she passes in the outside lane, perfectly fine, and continues past the slower traffic in the inside lane. All fine.
Just.....wouldn't it have been easier to do the latter in the first place? Pass, make progress, not impede anyone and get there faster. Or would that have involved the difficulty of looking further than 5 yards?
