Would you overtake a funeral procession?

[dave0010]

After following behind one earlier I was amazed at the amount of people that over took the entire procession. So would you? even if it was safe to do so I still wouldn't out of respect.

[Mutt]

No, I'd lean on the horn instead.

Or not.

[philoldsmobile]

Absolutely not.

[Acheron]

No never.

[slipstream 1985]

depends, usually they dont have far to go, church to graveyard etc. if its miles and miles i dont think its wrong or disrespectful

[cazzer]

On a dual carriageway yes.
On a normal road no.

[bazking69]

No.

To be fair you only live once and time is precious, as proven by the funeral, it's what the deceased would have wanted




No, I never would!

[Emeye]

I would. I have. But only when it was safe when I was in a hurry.

[Oxygen2k10]

Of course not.





I would undertake them without using my indicators!!

I don't think that's unreasonable actually. I don't want a funeral procession, I wouldn't want to inconvenience anyone!

I would overtake where appropriate, like if I saw a funeral procession miles from a church and I had somewhere to be, but I wouldn't do a 2nd gear bombing run overtake. I save those for cyclists riding side by side!

This.

[vixen1700]

No, never.

[SplatSpeed]

been there done that

almost got my teeth kicked in!

[Chas88]

Not unless it was on a dual carriageway.

Seems most people agree.

Firstly, my hearse is going to have a V8, and be noisy as is the funeral car - Mrs SE and my best mate have both promised to take care of that.

But I'm yet to figure a way to actively encourage noisy overtakes of the procession - a VMS and scrolling lightbar off a police car perhaps?

[carmonk]

Only if it was pikeys.

[Zed Ed]

but the real question is.....

Is it ok to break the lights to stay in the procession; quite common practice it would seem.

[jonno990]

Depends on the hearse..
