So if a dual carriageway has 3 lanes, is national speed limit (70 for cars) can I, whilst driving an artic, use the outside lane to overtake?
Rog & Neil give 'em a chance before you answer
This one has been done many times on here, but I like the way you have mentioned the speeds limit as if it somehow makes a difference to the answer.
well Mr Royal Mail driver. think of the children as i made an overtake in lane 3 of A46 from Coventry to M40 last week. As you over took a Tesco truck and i was running at @55mph and gaining on you very quickly!
and yes i like fresh coffee!

50 if i was salary paid 40 if i was on the hour
gotta be mental to do 50 if you are hourly paid, remember its a limit not a target
Don’t forget also, if any trucker dares to overtake speed up to prevent, then of course post up on here claiming victim if there is any sign of lack of restraint from the overtakee

Assuming that by “outside lane” you mean the lane nearest the central reservation, Yes.

Yeah I love these Urban Myths and its amazing how quickly they can spread, even more rubbish is quoted when it comes to legal requirements or documentation, it seems it all depends what people read into something, if you get half a dozen people read a paragraph of information and then pass it onto others they will likely all have different interpretations of what they have just read. The Highway Code is a good example, it puts everything in simple sentences that are easy to understand then the human mind makes it complicated, it then doesn’t help when individuals add their own idea of what is written.

I know what you mean : the second shooter on the grassy knowl, ufo’s, aliens, man hasn’t been to the moon, global warming isn’t happening, I could go on :
But confusing duel carraigeway and duel lanes is more forgivable and more understandable and not quite as stupid.
Even after 30 years of driving I can never remember who has priority with the sign that has a black arrow and a smaller red arrow
Big and black has priority over others, according to some recent posts on here anyway.
