I think people who dont know the roads are worse. They never indicate correctly turning on last min decisions ... sitting drifting all over the lane while trying to determine where they are going .... suddenly braking then accelerating because they arent sure then they are ... causing everyone behind to stress out = overtaking.

when knowing the road I usually give a lot of space to the car thats just pottering infront which is fine, but as I know the road im not in a rush and know where I can or cant over take so I can wait ... where as someone that doesnt will just push there way through where ever they can.

Look on the bright side though...if the exotic car was going fast you would not have had the 'visual viewing pleasure' whilst overtaking it..!!
