No overtaking!

No overtaking!

OK only the first one is a legal requirement. If you overtake where you see this sign you can be prosecuted for not obeying the sign.

However, all the other signs suggest that overtaking might be dangerous – in the event of an accident the presence of a road sign could be used by the prosecution where a charge of dangerous or careless driving was being brought.

Remember…

We don’t live in an ideal world, effective journey planning will help to ease frustration and reduce your need to overtake, choose a safe overtaking location, remember the two P’s, and make sure that you are ‘quick and stable’.
