    To complicate things further, the answer seems to depend on what you're driving. For car and motorbike test a continous white line means no overtaking, however on hgv test a continous white line simply marks the center of the road.

    having driven tractors on the roads a good bit there is nothing worse than someone who wont overtake on a white line even do the road might be clear ahead and i would be going slow and have waved them on. they are sitting behind you with there wheel on the white line and everyone behind them are passing out both of us..
    im not saying take a risk or do something stupid. i have seen plenty of that aswell but if you can see the road is clear just overtake.
    i always thought the road markings were done with the speed limit in mind. so say your on a road that has 100kph limit the lines coming to a corner or watever were kept back enough to allow a car was moving at near the limit and it would be unsafe to pass but a tractor doing 30kph would be easy to pass
