I'm not into naming and shaming motorists but when I caught this on helmet cam...
"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.
You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.
And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....
....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.
Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;
Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

Re: A5 lunatic
Had that happen to me a few times, they see a bike and think there's room, I just get as far left as I can when I see what's happening.

Re: A5 lunatic
Had a similar experience on the way up to Ullapool last year. Something we all need to be wary of, you get the feelingthat some of these people see you but crack on with the overtake anyway, and assume you are going to give way, which you will do if you want to say alive.

Re: A5 lunatic
Is this any different to a motorbike overtaking against on coming traffic, where there is room. I do that all the time.............

Re: A5 lunatic
I wonder if you were riding a big white RT 1200 BMW with the blue lights etc etc, would he have done the same dangerous overtake ?...
Blatant disregard for the bikers safety in my opinion.
