    This is from the motors forum. It got silly pretty quickly, but there is a genuine question here. I figured those who hang around the District Courts might have an opinion on it.

    This thread is for discussion of the above query. If you're not answering this query directly, don't post in this thread.

    There offences are for:

    1) overtake causing inconvenience
    2) dangerous overtake

    or an attempt to do either, so it depends on the context.

    Rules of the Road give the few times when you can cross a continuous white line, but there's no specific offence AFAIK

    It all boils down to opinion really.....
