Whats everyones take on overtaking on chevrons?
Discussion
Have seen this happening a lot recently and wondering what everyone's take on it is. I was always told you shouldn't do it and the highway code is a bit woolly IMHO
Highway code rule 130 about it.
Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted on the road. These are to separate traffic lanes or to protect traffic turning right.
* if the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so
* if the area is marked with chevrons and bordered by solid white lines you MUST NOT enter it except in an emergency
[Laws MT(E&W)R regs 5, 9, 10 & 16, MT(S)R regs 4, 8, 9 & 14, RTA sect 36 & TSRGD 10(1)]

So if someone in front is doing 45 on a long stretch of straight road, 60 limit, can overtaking them be deemed 'necessary'?
I wouldn't have said so.So if someone in front is doing 45 on a long stretch of straight road, 60 limit, can overtaking them be deemed 'necessary'?
