hippy What is the law here in relation to over-taking stationary vehicles that are indicating to turn left?
I am not sure of the law, but common-sense suggests that passing on the left of a vehicle whose driver has shown their intention to turn left by using their indicator is not advised. I mean, that's kind of what Seb did. The driver should have looked for him, and would have seen him, if he had (police evidence) but I wouldn't trust a driver to do that once he had started indicating.
Over here, if you use your indicators at all, the general attitude is that all other traffic should get out of the way.
We could start another thread about hazard recognition, but if I see a driver with his hazards on, I always slow down. The hazards, which should only be used when stationary, almost always mean 'I am about to do something so stupid, it will get in your top 10 Most Stupid Things I Have Ever Seen A Driver Do'
