Perhaps that some sort of ironic insult where you come from but I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about but I'll just nod and smile ok? B2003

I'm referring to the normal dictionary definition - something that you aren't allowed to do as defined and enforced by law - like speeding, driving on the pavement, going through red lights, undertaking etc. These 4 examples all have exceptions, but generally they are a legal thing. A minor infringement will result in a warning and points on a license. Severe cases can result in prison sentences.

End of. That's what you would do then?

I wouldn't have that problem, because if I was undertaking him by using L1, I wouldn't clip his car as he is in L2 oblivious to anyone behind. I wouldn't give him a 'fly past' up the inside. I might choose to eventually undertake him, but no fly pasts - its a car, not a Tornado! What is IGWS? What is a 'batman swoop'? Why do you drive like this? This sounds very dangerous! However, if you choose to drive as you have described in your post and you clip the aforementioned car that is doing 60mph on an otherwise quiet motorway, he wouldn't spin onto another carriageway - this wouldn't happen! The car might spin, yes, however its momentum would remain in a forwards direction until the tyres regained some grip, which then *could* send the car left or right. If it does go right, then it would bounce off the central reservation barrier and remain on the correct carriageway. |
