Yeah never heard of the trem "off siding" either. The left bend overtake technique used to be known as "the suicide sweep". :eek
Since doing my advanced test s few years ago, it's perefectly safe if done correctly in the right circumstances, it's just a case of proper observation.

IMO overtaking on a left hand turn is not something that I'd do unless it was a gradual downhill which straightened out or when to the right and the carriageway was clear for a damn long way.


In other words, once in a blue moon.  Maybe even less.

It is an exceptional set of circumstances that make it a safe overtake. I got to admit, I don't do it often due to the roads round here not being too forgiving for it.
