- All the Highway Code says on this point is "Overtake only on the right unless
- traffic is moving in queues and the queue on your right is moving more slowly
- than you are. Do not move to a lane on your left to overtake."
-
- "When approaching a junction make sure you are in the correct lane; ..."
- Obviously you may need to change lanes if you need to leave the motorway
- or if you have to pull off in an emergency, whether the traffic is moving
- in queues or not. Surprisingly, there is very little in the new Highway
- Code specifically concerning motorcycles.
