• Fair enough. I saw what I did as the safest course of action, as well as being the most thought full. After all I don't know what he's doing in the middle of the road. On a side note, none of you would ever undertake? Rules are rules, but to me, my safety is paramount.

    • also, jerk is a great word.
  • If your safety is paramount then why would you undertake? It's a dangerous maneuver for you as well as whoever you're undertaking. If they swing back in without looking then you're both on the floor. You should just slow down and hang back till it's clear what the safe course of action is.

  • my safety is paramount.

    Your speed was paramount ;) Do you mean actual middle of the road, as in the line between the two lanes, or middle of the lane?

  • On a side note, none of you would ever undertake? Rules are rules, but to me, my safety is paramount.

    No, I never undertake - specifically because my safety is more important. The left hand side is for people to move into if something unexpected happens on the right, where it's more likely to happen as there's another traffic lane there. If you're undertaking somebody, and something happens on their right, where are they going to go? Into their safe space, which you're currently occupying. Like Idiot says, in that scenario, you're both going down onto the tarmac.
