Overtaking

[grkify]

Quick question been driving a few years now use this road fairly frequently am can I legally overtake here.




The road is dead straight but being unsure as to if i can overtake or not i haven't been. I have to be super careful when it comes to my license as I need it to make a living.

I am an idiot answered my own question, no according to this https://www.gov.uk/general-rules-all-drivers-rider... seems silly on the road above

It's perfectly fine to overtake here, conditions permitting. What makes you think otherwise?

I honestly cant remember reading about it when I did my test and since I rely so much on driving for my job its better to ask rather than do and ask for forgiveness

Thanks everyone for the quick responses so it looks like the general thought is that i can overtake here as long as its safe to do so. The road in question is the A37 between ilchester and yeovil if it helps anyone above, there has been a few accidents along this road not on this section though and it does flood occasionally.
