I see a marked difference in the rider who is out for a blast and the rider who uses their bike as a means of transport. Just observational recognition when I am out and about, not through training, just a personal thought on the matter. I have never been a fast rider and I have always needed a reason to use my bike, somewhere to actually go. There are loads of riders who 'just go for a ride' with no definite destination or reason for the journey other than the ride itself. These are the types I see doing daft stuff, going way, way faster than I would ever dream of going, being inconsiderate to other road users (diving in front of an overtaken vehicle before squirting off again past the next one0..... tortoise and hare springs to mind.
If you cause the vehicle you have overtaken to adjust their speed, you have done it wrong and been inconsiderate. If you don't impede or impact on anyone elses' journey, you have done it right.
That case law with one bike T boning the cafe visiting bike.... overtaking on the approach to a junction! I treat a layby as a junction too!
