DT Ralge Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) It was undertaking though, this was made a specific crime wasn't it? Ah - think I got a bit confused, I thought undertaking had been singled out for some sort of "it's always dangerous" approach. But maybe not. No new offences were added last Summer. The only thing that changed was the way a PC was allowed to deal with the offence. More than a few had to be dealt with in court (all too difficult for the PC) => now dealt with a type of FPN (it's called something different, already forgotten. D'oh) Edit: I think they are Traffic Offence Reports ... Edited June 25, 2014 by DT Ralge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 No i am on about the Lorry drivers who think just because they drive a large vehicle that they can bully other road users. They drive a large vehicle so they need more road space to brake/manoeuvre etc...do you give them that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - think I got a bit confused, I thought undertaking had been singled out for some sort of "it's always dangerous" approach. But maybe not. From what I understand undertaking had stopped being a specific crime in the 1970's when the Road Traffic Act came in. I didn't think they'd changed the rules on it recently??

Justin Smith Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I don't think undertaking per se is a good way of identifying a poor driver. We`ll have to agree to disagree. The vast majority of occasions when you see a driver undertaking another it`s down to aggression or impatience (excluding adjacent lanes both doing less than the speed limit). And any driver who overtakes another vehicle on the left whilst going round a roundabout is an absolute moron.

Guest Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The most arrogant drivers drive buses. They operate on the false premise that they have automatic right of way always without exception by law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of occasions when you see a driver undertaking another it`s down to aggression or impatience (excluding adjacent lanes both doing less than the speed limit). I'd agree that undertaking is poor driving. However, in the circumstances that you describe, the other driver is driving equally badly. If the driver in the wrong lane drove properly, there would be no need for aggression or impatience. Good driving is all about awareness of others.

Justin Smith Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 In reply to the original question... Without doubt, the Toyota Yaris. Are you being serious ? I can`t say I`d ever link bad driving (as in aggressive impatient inconsiderate driving) with the Toyota Yaris...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
