Dat's c'mon to many young drivers (private or commercial), esp if u're jst starting to drive. My colleagues & I use to av a slogan wen we started driving dat "wot's d usefulness of d space btw u & d nxt car? " meaning u keep up ur speed till u're "bumper to bumper" wt him, & wen u meet him, nxt target is to overtake.
We outgrew all dat wt time, esp after bashing d cars several times.

For d drivers, I guess part of the reason is cos they don't want d nxt cab to pick a potential passenger ahead of dem. It baffles me dat they display same attitude to private vehicles too. Really, they can be a hell of a burden wen they're ahead of u, esp on a narrow Rd.
luckily for me I haven't bashed my car or anyones yet cheesy

I agree with your first point but not 100% with your second. Most of them usually speed up when any vehicle tries to overtake them especially on single lane roads. I don't like being overtaken whenever I'm on the wheel too, makes me feel like I'm incompetent. grin

If you meet person like me for road, Na you go willingly comot for road for me!
