Theory test for CBT

[Grahamm]

Technically i wasn't even breaking the law as i'm allowed to overtake static traffic, and there were no hard white lines.

Interestingly, provided the traffic is not moving you *are* legally allowed to overtake even if there is a solid white line on your side of the road! The actual wording is "You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle".

Now I've checked and "stationary" simply means "not moving", I'd always thought before that meant eg "parked" or "with the engine off", but that's not what it says.

You have to be careful, of course, because, if the traffic starts moving whilst you're going past, you are committing an offence and if you were to have an accident, you'd very probably be judged as being in the wrong as you'd need to justify that it was entirely "necessary".

But, none the less, it's useful to know and it can be very handy for making progress in situations like you describe
