HGV in the 3rd lane?

What’s the penalty for a lane 3 overtake ?

Nothing at all if it’s an A-road, likewise if it’s a 4 (or more lane) Motorway. If it’s a 2-lane Motorway or dual carriageway, you could be looking at up to 2 years’ chokey or an unlimited fine.

Every one of you examples are legitimate for a truck to use the outside lane. No restrictions on A roads (unless local signs dictate otherwise) and also legal on a 2 lane motorway.

He said lane 3 - Try doing a Lane 3 overtake on a 2 lane d/c or Motorway and that’s Dangerous Driving in my book. Maybe you are one of these “keep it lit” types…?
