I think this is something you have to bear in mind when overtaking, that it's capable of moving *far* faster than its appearance would suggest. This may catch someone out who simply isn't expecting it and who pulls out on you, thinking that the road is clear because it was when they looked a moment ago, when you were miles behind.

People do this anyway. They just don't look in the mirror to see if anything is overtaking before overtaking. It's manouver - signal - mirror :)

Best to get past them while the idea of overtaking is still germinating in their brain.
