OT: "leave more time for the bike" advertisements

The message from Art Deco contains these words:

Yup, like I said, it doesn't actually say you mustn't. In the context of the Highway Code "Should not" is not the same thing as "Must not".

I've got a button on mine which toggles the speed and distance display units between km and miles. Apparently.

Might be fun to change to km/h and see how much the big numbers scare the rear seat passengers.

So every time some kiddy puts a carrot out for Rudolph on Christmas eve... ?

No wonder the figures are so high.

Steve Walker ( snipped-for-privacy@otolith.demon.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

One of mine with a KPH speedo has a button on the dash. Actually, thinking about it, it's got a button and *two* twisty switches. And a big red light. Which doesn't do what it should.

Like sending coals to the Elephant and Castle.

That's for a road

the one for motorways.

242: Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake.

Ooh. That last sentence might be a bit restrictive ;-)

I didn't do that in lane 2a for 140 miles on the M1, oh no, not mesiree.

Oh, and to the pair of CBR6 and R6 riders. You can't ride for toffee.

HTH

P.

"242: Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake."

I didn't Ossifer. I moved left to *UNDER*take.

Think it would work?

No. Nor me.

As for the last sentence, can't a bike just stay between the lanes instead of in and out of them?

Moving in and out of the lanes seems 'more correct' as i'm really 'overtaking slower moving traffic where safe to do so'.

Staying in lane 2a at speed would just be lane splitting, and would be classed as DD.

Some useful comments in here.
