[QUOTE="cougar8000, post: 506802, member: 3672"] Passing is not bad if done right. Problem is, as was discuss a few month back on here somewhere, most people in the states have no clue how and very pissed off when passed by others. That said... I generally would stay away from passing more then 2 cars at a time. You really should only be passing one at a time. But if you have to do more, be very careful about it. As others have said keep your speed at a reasonable level. Try to see people faces in their mirror's. Look at their hand placement. Ride in the middle closer to the right section of the line just so they can see you in the mirror, but be ready to go left. What I have seen happen many times and hope it will stop. NEVER EVER follow another rider when passing. unless you can stop before hitting him or what ever. People way too often expect rider in front to keep on going. And shit breaks loose when they are not. Who is in front is always right regardless what happened. ShawnKing, I would not rely on the speed all the time. [/QUOTE]
