Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

It is also an indication that perhaps as advanced drivers we have a tendency to over-think at times?! Ultimately - every scenario is different - looking for a rule to use To be fair to the OP (and without bothering to go back and check :roll: :lol: :hit: ), it was more about clarification of meanin...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

It struck me later that it could have been a deliberate action, to take some attention / concentration, so that I couldn't focus on 'putting on a show'. It seems to me this would have been done to help you feel at ease. but then it's up to you how long it continues and how involved the conversation...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

How much delay do you mean, low single-figure seconds delay, or longer? Not sure where this fits in the sequence of this part of the conversation. If you explain, I'll try to answer.

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

Your use of the indicator carried a meaning known only to you. A headlamp flash is probably the most extreme example of potential for 'transmt-receive' errors. Anyway, Highway Code: https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/using-the-road-overtaking.html Seems to be a signal: https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/...

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

Given the potential for severe consequences if it goes wrong, erring on the side of caution - Vs a hurried mistake - has to be better IMO. sometimes I'm not as prepared as I should be I ought to have been more clear about this, thinking the short-hand would be understood; I wasn't paying as much at...

Indeed, but better than continuing on ;)

If you're moving out for that final check, it's still 'intention'.

Re: Use of Indicator for Overtaking

Is 'overtaking' the lateral movement, passing the other vehicle (s), or both actions?

If both, then surely 'intention to overtake' still applies during the lane change and closing up?
