Don’t be goal orientated

On busy rural roads and main roads between towns and cities the traffic becomes congested with slower moving vehicles or at certain times of day, like rush hour. Overtaking multiple vehicles can be very hazardous and riders are reminded not to be goal orientated and try to overtake everything in one go. The challenge here is good forward vision, planning and timing. Most riders use the power of their bike to overtake and not the power of their brain. Which category do typiu fall into?
