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.

“The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. That unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. Whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)

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