Once the slower driver has been passed, there is no further interaction and he isn't delayed or otherwise affected. If someone cuts in ahead of you in a queue, you are delayed by the length of time it takes for that person to be serviced. The queue-cutter is discourteous, the passer isn't unless he resorts to discourteous means in order to pass. Martin Taylor
