How does that work on Oz motorways?
In Belfast you can forget about overtaking a car in the slow lane doing 65 at 70mph. As everybody else is going to be doing 80, at least... but perhaps that attitude doesn't exist if the speeding laws are strictly enforced.
Aside from some speedtraps it's a bit of a free-for-all here.
JWestland-
We have shitloads of speed cameras, marked and unmarked police cars with speed cameras fitted. None of this namby pamby pretend speed camera nonsense they do here. Undertaking is commonplace though: https://practicalmotoring.com.au/voices/the-australian-overtake/
hippy
Has that excuse ever worked for riders caught speeding during an overtake?
In Oz, where they're a lot stricter on speeding, the cops would simply say "if you couldn't pass them while remaining under the speed limit you shouldn't have passed them.
