Single carriageway, 4 lanes, overtaking?
Discussion
Overtaking question.
There are many single carriageway roads with two lanes in each direction, making four in total.
Lanes one and two in each direction are separated by the usual widely spaced dashed single white line, while in the middle a close-spaced--but still dashed--single white line separates opposing lanes of traffic.
Assuming an absence of on-coming traffic and other hazards that might rule out an overtake, is it legal to overtake on the "wrong" side of the road? in otherwords, is it legal to overtake traffic in lane 2 by crossing the dashed centre line?
