Strange choice of wording. I sometimes read your posts and think you get a bit of a hard time on here. Then I read stuff like this and wonder if you’re just a bit of a dick or on the constant wind up. Undertaking is not illegal as it is impossible to avoid in congested conditions, where the left lane might be moving faster than the outside lane. However, the Highway Code is clear you should not move to the left to overtake.
Saying that I advocate for a safe way to move past another car is strange wording? Ok. If you think that’s strange, fine. I can live with that.
It’s strange that you would advocate to do so, when clearly to do so is discouraged because it is inherently dangerous - whether you perceive it safe or not. Other road users, including the car you are undertaking will not be expecting that manoeuvre.
Driving is inherently dangerous ergo I guess you don’t drive?
Another strange choice of wording. I’ve stopped wondering and have now determined that (Mod Edit)
I’m merely playing you at your own game of vague wording and misinterpretation. I’ve said above that I advocate for it when it’s safe to do so but yet you come back with how it’s dangerous. Well no, it’s no more dangerous than any other form of driving when it’s safe to do so. Did you miss the word safe from what I said? It’s right there.
Does that mean I should be twice as irritated as I was earlier?
I didn’t make any inferences other that state what the Highway Code states. Undertaking is dangerous as it goes against what is generally held to be the rules of the road and what is expected by other road users. Of course there are exceptions, but by and large it shouldn’t be done, just because you think it should.
When did I say it should be done “by and large”? Go back and look again.
No interest in a back and forth with you.
No spoiler alerts on another thread about a Prarlympic event I was looking forward to watching.
I now know the result.
Good. I do note you were interested in the back and forth when you thought you had a point.
