repassing

Repassing refers to the act of a vehicle or person traveling over the same stretch of road or path for a second or subsequent time, often in quick succession. This can occur in various contexts and for different reasons. In traffic, a vehicle might repass another if it initially overtakes and then, due to slower speed or a change in lane, is overtaken again by the same vehicle. This can be a source of frustration for drivers. Similarly, a cyclist or pedestrian might repass a landmark or a point of interest, perhaps for a different perspective or to ensure they haven't missed something. In some competitive events, such as endurance races or relay stages, athletes might repass sections of a course multiple times. The term can also be used more figuratively, such as repassing a topic in a discussion to clarify or expand upon it. The perception of repassing can range from neutral observation to annoyance, depending on the situation and the individuals involved.
