This becomes hilarious when a P-Plater (usually in something Japanese with "fully sick" body kit) sees something mid-engined and low ahead, who then proceeds to rapidly catch up and expect some sort of race or to tailgate or both.

I'm usually 1/2 way through the first hairpin ahead when the nose of the car behind will violently dip, with a puff of blue smoke off the tyres, plus a little slalom to regain control for good measure...

Even a humble 45km hairpin can totally make my day
Real nice car Peter ... yes indeed.
