That would be a slightly different guideline, as the Surrey police recommended not (normally) moving into the "slow" lane unless you can, without changing your own speed: move across a generous distance in front of the guy you have just passed; stay "straight and level" in the "slower" lane for the 15 to 20 seconds; and move back to the "fast" lane while you are still a generous distance behind the guy you are about to overtake. > I would amend this, however, to recommend an immediate return to the > right lane if faster traffic approaching from the rear will catch up > to you before you can complete your next pass. AIUI, it was a general *guideline*, which should be tweaked according to the particular circumstances: if *slightly* faster traffic is approaching from behind then stay in the "fast" lane if he would be likely to trap you; if *substantially* faster traffic is approaching and will be able to pass unimpeded (and *without* trapping you) if you move across into a somewhat smaller gap then do so; if faster traffic is approaching running blue lights then be prepared to move into any *safe* gap, slowing if necessary, to let him pass; etc. It's very much horses for courses, but the 15 to 20 seconds *stable* in the "slow" lane guideline is a good starting point. |
