My cat having 3 teeth out on Monday which cost me a fortune was my gripe on Monday. This morning as if to defiantly prove that fewer teeth isn't going to stop him being Top Cat of the neighbourhood he proudly brought me a huge mouse at 6am. I had to laugh at how pleased he was with himself. Even his brother looked impressed.

Other users who don't know the rules re solid white lines and slow moving vehicles.
See you later suckeres

According to bikesafe cops in Carlisle, you can pass a stationary vehicle over a solid white line, but if it is moving you cannot ! Even if it is slow moving ?

HIGHWAY CODE:
Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

If the slow moving vehicle is a tractor/oversize load/etc - not road maintenance then ???
Orger's in Blue clarify ???

I wouldn't have thought there was much on the roads these days that actually travels less than 10mph

If you make sure you approach well on the wrong side of the speed limit, there's no way you can tell if it's doing 10mph or stationary. So you can pass it with a clear conscience

OK. I'll make it crystal clear

I'd count the verge trimmers in the same league.
None are going much over a walking pace.
