People seem to "need" to overtake me, regardless of how fast I accelerate or how fast I'm driving. The menatility seems to be: "it's an old car, therefore it must be slow, therefore I must overtake it"...
Once they've overtaken me, they then revert to normal driving, often slower than I was going before they overtook
I find this too , the youngest car in my fleet being a 1986 model , and despite being capable of showing a clean pair of tail pipes to most other cars , some seem desperate to overtake at any cost .
Depending on the circumstances , I either just let them go , or accelerate quickly to my chosen cruising speed before they get the chance to do any more than think about passing .
