when you start overtaking them.
What is this all about? Mrs Secure (and I when I were driving) uses cruise on the blue roads. We come across vehicles all the time that are going slowly enough that we can pass with accelerating. But as soon as we move out, the car we are passing speeds up.
Now, if she were driving without cruise, it could be attributed to throttle variations in both drivers. But as she is on cruise the speed is very consistent (unless on a hill, then the car will slow before the cruise accelerates to compensate, causing slight overspeed) so we're sure the driver being overtaken is trying to prevent the manoeuvre.
I've even had this on A/B/C roads. When that happens, you are in danger, especially if something appears coming the other way.
It should be an offence?
