To not have overtaken these cyclists?

[OhMrBadger]

I passed my driving test a short time ago and I'm slowly building up confidence, doing longer drives etc.

This morning I drove a route that takes an area of outstanding natural beauty. It's very hilly and the road is very windy so there are sections with double white line between lanes.

It's a beautiful day so there were loads of cyclists out and obviously labouring up the hills. I found myself at the front of a queue of traffic behind a cyclist.

I couldn't see clearly enough in front of me to be able to overtake safely. So I hung back until it was safe to go. But so many cars behind me were beeping! DH was in the passenger seat and said not to stress as I was doing the right thing.

This happened twice on the same stretch of road.

So now I'm back at home and fretting over it all. I'm replaying hideous head-on crash scenarios in my head or having to swerve back and knocking a cyclist off their bike.

So, WIBU to hold back until i was 100% sure it was safe to overtake?? Surely not?

I dont know about P plates but my instructor told me that L Plate Baiting was definitely a thing. This was 20 years ago but I doubt it has got better, probably got worse so it wouldnt surprise me if some wank stain thought it would be "hilarious" to try and freak out or intimidate a new driver.

I wouldnt bother with the P's, just focus on being safe and increasing your confidence. There are dicks everywhere, dont let them and their tiny penises (come on, it is usually a man) bother you.
