This happened last week and I'm still unsure If I did anything wrong/right?
I remember when I was young my Dad always stayed behind a hearse and if a he was a pedestrian would stop with bowed head until it had passed.
I was driving to work on a dual carriageway and was overtaking in the outside lane. Belatedly, I realised that the cars along side me were the hearse and mourners', so I slowed to about 50mph and left a space of about 100yd (20secs?) before pulling in in front of them. Before I could pull in however, I was overtaken on the inside by a van, with the driver waving his fist and yelling at me.
If I'd realised what it was I wouldn't have overtaken in the first place, but was what I did so bad? FWIW all the women at work said I did the right thing, the men weren't so sure

To have slowed down and given plenty of space to a funeral procession?
