    Actually, I have changed my blame on the driver that caused the car to overtake in the first place :pac:

    What did the sign at the junction say RE: priority? If there's no sign, then it should default to priority on the right, or left or whatever the rules are in your crazy country.

    Maybe the driver pulling out of the junction did look both left and right, saw that there were cars coming from the left but none from the right and that it was safe to pull out. Then the overtaking car decided (after the person had looked left) to overtake.
    In this case would it matter if there was a broken line or not? Do you need to wait for both lanes of traffic to be clear to turn left depending on the lines?

    Stick around a little longer and you'll see the genuine sexist/racist remarks. This, I am sure is tongue-in-cheek. Move along now. Moderator conspir...nothing! nothing to see here.

    The overtaker is wrong cos Uncle Gaybo says so...

    Hmm. In reality the overtaker prob had right of way (I'm asuming there was no lnes/signs to state otherwise, and he had started the maneuver before the other car pulled out). Not every junction is signed/marked with chevrons or continuous white lines. You're supposed to look both direction when pulling out for a reason. I thought watching where you are going would be a fairly basic skill.

    but then the guy could have started overtaking so close to the junction that the other guy's way was clear until he had actually pulled out. it's not really an open and shut case. it depend on the circumstances
