Don't speed when overtaking.
Discussion
One of the free local rags included some propaganda from plod on the Christmas road toll.
One of the rules was "Don't speed when overtaking." So no going over 100 if I come across someone doing 85? What happened to minimising your time exposed to danger?
Really goes to show how screwed up the road safety message is here.

Well it is the same rule in the UK...
It is but I've never seen it trotted out by plod in an advert/article. I've also never heard of anyone being fined for doing it in the UK.On a straight which is the more dangerous overtaking move?
1) pull out, accelerate to 100 km/h, sit there and crawl past
2) pull out, floor it, hit 150 km/h and be back on the left asap?
I've been passed when I've been doing 100 in a 100 limit by people doing 105 - it isn't a great experience having some mouth breathing sheep trundling past.
