CrackedMirror 308 #2 Posted August 20, 2015 Very interesting, thanks. Is it usual to undertake on the freeways? It would be illegal in Britain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyfruil 355 #3 Posted September 10, 2015 Got fooled a couple of times, Thought they drove really aggressive and the saw the speedometer showing between 10 and 30 Kmh. Watching the other videos on your channel now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

furryman 2,265 #7 Posted September 27, 2015 By undertaking, you mean passing another vehicle that is going slower? It's illegal in the UK? Madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave46 204 #8 Posted September 27, 2015 By undertaking, you mean passing another vehicle that is going slower? It's illegal in the UK? Madness.I need the UK, on a 3 lane road, the left hand lane (yes you drive on the wrong side of the road ) we call the slow lane, everyone drives there, if you need to pass you move to the middle lane, then return to the slow lane, the 3rd lane is for folks that like to go really fast, we call it the fast lane "Undertake" would be going in to a slower lane to overtake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure passing on the wrong side is illegal in most US states as well, but rarely enforced. Especially on a crowded expressway. Still not clear why you would call it undertaking. The only undertaking I knew of before this was the sort of thing an undertaker undertook. Like the way the video is put together, with the speedo and rear view, but the drive from Bangkok to Pattaya must win a prize for least scenic ride in Thailand.

dave46 204 #10 Posted September 27, 2015 In the UK we follow these rules, and that just happens to be the word we use. I have driven in the USA, and it seems to me there are no rules, you drive in what ever lane and overtake (left) or undertake (right) as of will, got to say it worked fine as far as I could see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave46 204 #11 Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Not watched the video (i'm on data) but often thought it would be worth recording the journey, not for the scenery, but the crazy stuff, Driving antics and state of vehicles overloaded and folks sat on top etc, there is always something I shake my head at and laugh Driving the wrong way on a freeway always amuses me Edited September 27, 2015 by dave46 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
