    Overtaking on the inside are destined for the undertaker's

    ....as the old adage goes. Though we all are in the end, I guess they meant early. Today heading north up to Lincolnshire, two lads in a lowered, matt grey 3 series bombed past me on the inside at 100+ , with me doing 70 and about to overtake a lorry. The lorry was a way off perhaps 6-10 car...

    Annoyed by overtaking

    Whilst on the way home from work this evening I was following a van doing a good few miles per hour less than the NSL so, with the road being straight and the nearest car in the opposite lane about a quarter of a mile down the road I did a quick, safe overtake. Having pulled in and carried on...

    Poor driver awareness when overtaking

    I was travelling up the A34 yesterday in the inside lane. There was a guy in the outside lane catching me up by about 10 mph. I suddenly noticed a broken down car in the inside lane ahead with his hazards on and signalled to move out as he was in a bloody dangerous position and I could see two...

    Do you indicate after overtaking?

    IIRC when I was learning, I was told it wasn't necessary to indicate to return to the n/s lane after overtaking as it was (should) be expected that I would be returning to the n/s lane. Some people do, and some don't, and was just wondering what your thoughts are. I realise that an...

    Keep Left Unless Overtaking

    I have to report a sighting of the lesser spotted 'Keep left unless overtaking' matrix sign in the wild! Heading down the M1 from Leeds on friday night. First one I've seen in a long long time. Wish they'd put them up more frequently. D.

    trucks overtaking!!

Takes half mile to get...
