That was suprisingly an easy post to follow for you Ginge. I normally just skip over your post but that one, I could actually read AND understand it!!

 

LMAO! I was about to write the same so skipped to the second page and you had beaten me to it!

Excellent post Ginge

Damn we are bastards!

 

Nowt wrong with untertakin

Is it illegal orrificer

 

I'm just back from the States and they seem to cope with undertaking there and these guys aren't the world's best drivers, but so many of their cars are the size of a bungalow, you quickly learn to check all your mirrors before changing lanes - as well as a quick lifesaver. Not a bad habit for any driver to get into the habit of.

They also allow you to turn right at a red light when safe to do so (that would be a left for us over here!), but what a great idea.

 

I thought this was a thread about undertakers as in Mortuaries for a second there!

 

I didn't realise the police would actually bother to pull you over!

Middle-lane sitters only really get to me when it's 2am and there's no other fooker in sight! Why the hell be in the middle lane? I used to swing all the way out and then cut right across them again but I cant be arsed now!!

 

yes make undertaking legal I followed a 330 bmw down the A130 who wasnt prepared to accept my car is way quicker he was changing down gears and all sorts and when he realised i was still there and way quicker he just wouldnt move over

 

I do it all the time, it SO should be legal.

 

No risk of that happening in this country, the left hand lane is always empty, undertaking is actually SAFER than overtaking here

 

There was another thread on this a while ago and it was found out that the "law" on undertaking is a bit vague.

Something along the lines that if you deliberately change lane to undertake then thats the illigal bit.

If your in the slow lane and undertake someone because they are going slower than you then thats legal as it were.

 

Its perefctly legal provided you dont change lanes immediately before or after the manovre. If you are going a steady speed then there is no law stating you cant do it.

The charge would be dangerous driving if you were to do it and cut back in front. At the end of the day it down to the officers discretion to say whether its dangerous or not. There is no actual law stating " Thou shall not pass on the left"

Theres a big thread on http://www.5ive-o.org/forum/index.php about it.
