The worst overtakers

I have come to the firm conclusion that the worst overtaking isn't those who drive too close, it isn't people who beep their horn unnecessarily, it's not the weirdos who yell at you whilst passing, it's not the chavs who throw things.
The worst thing to overtake you is an animal/livestock transporter. And it's not because they're often huge vehicles, it's because the air becomes so disgusting that you don't want to breathe it in. The smell lingers in the air for minutes after they've passed, and it's a truely foul smell of panicing animals packed together in a tiny space.
Does anyone else have the pleasure of these vehicles passing them on a regular basis?

Unless you live in East Yorkshire they do here as well. I was buzzed by one 3 times the other week.

funniest reply I've heard for a long time.
Folks on hybrids, MTB's unicycles etc leave a gap...
Part of the reason they got rid of them in London and York.
Rather like cycling past the dump at Coxhoe, uphill section so going slow and breathing heavily, not nice
"Let's just all be really careful out there folks!"
That made me laugh out loud.
Now, perhaps I need not be using the well-worn track that the said sheep have created but it is the most convenient route uphill where I am and I am still staggered by the lack of imagination on the part of the sheep in that, with a human (on a two-wheeled contraption) using said track, they still insist on passing within inches of me.
On the plus side, it makes me sprint if I here it coming up behind me.
I love Cannock and Llandegla cycle parks.

Or like when I'm on the right hand side of the lane, approaching a junction, with my arm stretched out to the right, that might not be a good time to overtake!
Quality!
