I too have noticed that there is a growing reluctance to overtake.
Couple of weeks ago I had nowhere to pull in on a slow pull and so was down to 25 or so. Car behind, large powerful Merc, could have passed me without thinking but wouldn't, just sat close. In the end the 2nd and 3rd cars overtook us both. They both had reduced visibility of course and the 3rd was mighty close to oncoming traffic.
Not sure what the answer is, but like many things in life we seem to be heading to extremes. Those happy to sit back and those desperate to get past you whatever the risk.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
