Is how long I was back on my side of the road after an overtake before
the cage coming the other way passed me and I *still* got flashed at.

If there's time to flash the lights there was never any real need to do it.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember NickNoxx <nick@munged_for_spam.com>
saying something like:

1. By his lights, you're obviously an anti-social hothead who tears
around the place frightening old women and torturing animals. You ride a
bike, so that's enough for him.

Did you spot a Daily Mail on his rear window shelf, by any chance?

2. You're a reckless waster of the planet's resources by having the
temerity to be out enjoying yourself on a fuel-wasting mode of transport
just for fun. And frightening old ladies, etc.

Did you spot a Guardian on his rear window shelf?

Maybe, just maybe, the driver was warning you of a danger ahead of you.

Pah - see if you can do the same but with you in the car, and the
aggrieved party on a bike.

If that happened , I'd just assume it was an old codger like Auvache on
the bike :-)

If it was Auvache on the bike you can bet your life the overtaking
manoeuvre would have been conducted at full throttle and I would have no
idea what speed I would have been doing. Looking at clocks is for those
going so slow they have nothing else to concentrate on.

Who needs to look at the clocks to know how fast you're going?

That's a completely different thing - they're flashing to let you know that
your car is too ugly to be on the road.
