Do Not Overtake Signs..

Should have added Page 12 Number 0143 of the cat.

Order form is at the end of the catalogue.

RA.

Good Stuff..RA..order sent..all good..many thanks.....oldbaz.

In my case, no, but should I need to use part of an adjoining lane to effect a left or right turn, those following are legally required to not overtake . I consider it
precautionary, but maybe useful in event of a collision.....oldbaz.

Oldbaz... I don't think the Traffic Act works like that - sign or not!

Well, according to the NSW RTA, I can legally display the sign, being over 7.5m in
length, & it is an offence to overtake me if I am indicating a left or right turn at a dual
lane interesection or roundabout..from either lane......so I have no issue with it.

This statement scares me.
The person who made it probably has a driving license!!!!

The road rules may be observed here. They are the same Australia wide.
This just happened to be at the top of the Google search.:-

Yes of course I have a drivers licence - but this is not about me
My piont is, OldBaz should consider the fact that but if he is NOT legally entitled to disploi the sign, the MTRs may not apply and he may in fact be committing an offence by doing so

Happy to stand corrected

O for and edit button, this is in a large rigid truck.
