Hey mate, me again (I love this topic by the way).

What is the rule with overtaking and double lines. Can you start the overtaking maneuver before the double lanes and finish it let's say 10-20m in to the double lanes or do you have to get back to your side of the road before reaching double lanes.

I tried finding the answer in the nsw road rules but didn't find anything.

It is necessary to finish the overtaking manouver before the double lines, the offence clearly defines the rule ( Cross unbroken line et al ).

This topic is supposed to notify me when there is a question but it does not seem to work sorry that I did not notice your question. If you want me to look up the legislation there will be a delay until mid next year as I am about to have major back surgery.

Goodluck with the surgery. I do remember you mentioning it at the Lighthouse some time ago and why your back is stuffed. I get my own back dramas from time to time and they just never seem the same.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Good luck with your surgury sly...

Hopefully this is a question you can answer off the top of your head.

What actually counts as steet racing?

For example, if two cars are sitting at a set of lights in an 80 zone, lights go green and both cars get to 80 very quickly (but not over) is that street racing, or would the cars need to go over the speed limit for it to count? What happens if only one car goes over the speed limit?

And at what point do coppers change things from simple speeding to street racing?

Can a copper pull me over for accelerating to fast, even if there is no other car next to me (or it's a nana's car which goes from 0 to 100 in 60 seconds) Not even speeding, just getting from 0 to 100 sub 6 sec like these cars are meant to

Just curious

If two cars are accelerating heavily side by side with no obvious reason I would call that street racing.

You can be pulled over for no reason, it's called a random breath test, accelerating quickly can be turned into a neg drive in certain circumstances.

It's been a year since my surgery and I am finally back at work I will answer more questions in this section if anyone has them. All I ask is you shoot me a pm to draw my attention to the question and I will endever to research it and come back with a definative answer if it is possible.

Not a question but still related... kinda

Was driving form Sydney to Port Stephens on the boxing day morning and saw few highway patrol cars on the way but what surprised me was that they were not hiding in the bush, they were all out in the open with the lights on letting everyone know they are out there. And I think this worked better than hiding in the bush as everyone was behaving well on the road. Except those idiots on the parts of the F3 with 3 lanes on the way back to Sydney, f*ck they sh*t me why are people scared of the left lane?

But anyway would just like to congratulate the NSW police on the new approach, I was really happy to see it.
