I've often criticised drivers for poor overtakes in this location, so here's an example of how to do it.
The driver here, slows slightly, to ensure the road ahead is clear, then moves right over away from me and passes.
By slowing slightly and moving right over, it means I don't get caught up in the wind drag (like in www.youtube.com/watch just a few moments before) and don't feel threatened by 1 ton of hurtling metal.
That kind of thing dissolves all tension and promotes a great stress-free existence for both parties. You get Road Rage? It's because you don't do this.
Well done, driver!
