Undertaking (driving) - Undertaking in Special Lanes

Undertaking in Special Lanes

Undertaking in special lanes is generally considered to be much more dangerous and is therefore almost always considered to be an offence. Most countries have the following rules:

  • Bus lanes - Generally if the vehicle undertaking is not a bus this would be forbidden.
  • Contraflow Bus lanes - Forbidden in all circumstances.
  • Hard shoulder - Forbidden in all circumstances.
  • HOV lanes - May be allowed if the vehicle in question meets the criteria for that lane and undertaking is not outlawed in that country.
  • Cycle lanes - Forbidden in most circumstances.

    on a concrete continent
    spaced with bland billboards
    illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness
