People need to drive correctly and let cars entering a roadway to wait until there are no oncoming traffic , this is what happens when an idiot tries to be curtious

Or the rider could avoid following too closely. I drive the slewed limit and am pushed by them all the time. Just courting disaster as we see here..

I think it is a double yellow line there. If he/she crossed it I have no sympathy. You’re not out on the open road with the wind in your hair. There are 4 traffic lights ahead of you. I am never in the passing lane on the highway so that would be the place for the “need for speed” – not a town residential thoroughfare.
