surely if it was dangerous you would have been charged with dangerous driving? maybe a letter to the bureau suggesting that your ticket should be waived as you do not appear to have been charged with the appropriate offence, would be in order.

The regulation 8-1-a says the overtaking has to be done safely.

[Lou Girardin]

The bit about safety will be hard to get around. My ticket states that the traffic was doing 15K and I was doing 25K. Mr tosser PC plod person maintained it was dangerous when I asked him after he'd written the ticket out and you know who's word will be taken in court if you went there.

If a 10 km/h speed differential is dangerous, that effectively makes ALL overtaking dangerous. Even passing stationary traffic.
Defend it!

You're damn tootin' right ALL overtaking is dangerous! Haven't you had problems with cars pulling out without warning, vehicles coming out of driveways on your right, people putting there indicators on when you're just about alongside, cops suddenly appearing on the horizon when you've got 200+ on the speedo.........l

All but the last one. Thank you Mike Valentine.

Ain't it ironic that the one thing I mentioned that you have a "detector" so you can "protect" yourself from it is also the one least likely to kill you

[Lou Girardin]

Won't kill me, but could cause long term wallet damage.
Show me a ' cage driving moron' detector and I'll buy two. Till then I'll rely on experience. (Touch wood)
