  What's the car for? To get you to your destination in the fastest time and safest way possible right? So?

  hmm.. I would feel guilty if the car in front of me, friend or not, is driving at 110kmph and I overtake him...
  
  but if he is travelling on extreme right lane..and at 80kmph and there is one long line of cars behind me...then I will feel happy.

  Driving selfishly, and overtaking needlessly, not only takes you to your destination. It can also take you, to the morgue.

  overtaking is normal or else they wouldn't have taught you when you learn driving. some people like to hog the road which is really inconsiderate and cause more inconvenience to others than those overtaking.
  
  don't worry dude.. overtake to your heart's content

  Imagine an F1 race without overtaking. Your pole position determines what you get.

  i don't think she even has a licence, i can assure you that over 10% of the drivers do not have a valid driving licence, hope the authority take note
