I have passed on the left quite a few times on the A1, especially when there’s s huge line of traffic sitting on the outside lane and nothing on the inside lane.
In the above quote by Wayne it says “Do not overtake…..” It does not say drivers MUST NOT overtake…. There is a difference in law about the two phrases.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Also, what is an overtake? To me it is approaching a car in my lane, moving to the right hand lane, passing the car and moving back into the previous lane. If you pass on the left but don’t change lanes is that an overtake or just a pass?</p>
