A quote from the Highway Code of the UK;
"139: Overtake only when it is safe to do so. You should
not get too close to the vehicle you intend to overtake
use your mirrors, signal when it is safe to do so, take a quick sideways glance into the blind spot area and then start to move out
move quickly past the vehicle you are overtaking, once you have started to overtake. Allow plenty of room. Move back to the left as soon as you can but do not cut in.
.....................
give motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you would a car when overtaking (see Rules 188, 189 and 191.
Sadly in a month of filming I failed to capture a "textbook" overtaking manoeuvre, below are some more typical examples
If you've caught the perfect overtake on film, or want to further expose the ridiculous Highway Code code get in touch here

Why does this guy attempt to overtake me? Has he no judgement? |
