overtaking

[meanmachine]

can you overtake at a zebra crossing when the road and crossing is clear

[sigma]

Yes if you want to be prosecuted

[Ethel]

It is also illegal to overtake on any part of the crossing - either moving vehicles, or the closest stopped vehicle. Even if you can't see anyone on the crossing, be sure not to overtake.

I hope you don't have a licence to drive your mean machine, if you don't know basic rules what else do you not know?

[Panic Button]

Oh I think he knew perfectly well before he posted the question.

[stewey]

Also, you are not allowed to do it in Kenya either.

[SlackAlice]

Mind you, if the road and the crossing is clear what are you overtaking?
Joking aside, no you cannot overtake.

[stewey]

Excellent point!.....Did we fall for something here?

[Ethel]

I think they were trying to tempt Norm out of hiding.

[dilligaf]

Norman must be on holiday.

There is too much bait posted recently for him to ignore.

[Panic Button]

Kenya?

What are you on Stewey?

Can I have some?

[THECORBYLOON]

stewey, Brenda The Elephant says you've got it wrong, in Kenya you're not allowed to overtake a Zebra.

[stewey]

I knew I was on the right track!:)

[Quentin]

No you might hit a Zebra!!!!!only kidding but still no! you might hit one of those lazy ass looypop ladies who stand on a zebra crossing coz there too lazy to stand anywhere else!!!don't you just hat them!!! �200 pound a month to stand on a zebra crossing when they may aswell not be there!!!

[Callidus]

If the road and crossing are both clear then of course you can overtake. After all, no risk of getting caught breaking the law if no one's around... ; )

[stewey]

I live in the Colonies: please explain the term 'looypop lady'?

[Toureman]

You must live a long long way away, you have to hat looypop ladies if you see them, popular pastime in the home country.

Yeah - where is Norman? I posted some abuse aimed at him for getting his facts wrong and he didn't reply.

And I want to make fun of him 'cos I may have found his real name and if he keeps acting up I'll post his contact details all over the forum
