Definition of a stationary vehicle?
Hi guys,
I'm intrigued, what is the definition of a stationary vehicle as far as the highway code is concerned? |

Re: Definition of a stationary vehicle
Let me guess, is this going to head off in the direction of solid white lines?

Definition of a stationary vehicle
I thought solid white lines meant below 10 mph.

Re: Definition of a stationary vehicle
Yes RH, just a discussion we had, I had been told by one of those fellows in a uniform, that if it is intending to move off it is not stationary. i.e. crossing solids whilst filtering past stopped traffic (either at lights or roadworks) is a no.

Re: Definition of a stationary vehicle
That sounds more like his interpretation than a legal position.
Stationary is stationary. They'd be better pointing out the "if it is safe to do so" part. |

Ftr, this was just a chat we were having. But may also make some video editing easier.

Re: Definition of a stationary vehicle
Unless your copper friend feels he should start a new career rewriting the world's dictionaries for a living, stationary means not moving, stopped and immobile. I wouldn't care less if it was about to move off, until it actually has it's stationary as far as I'm concerned.
Unfortunately there are still a great number of police officers who haven't got enough brain cells in their head to fill the gaps in their ears let alone between them, and they are the ones who usually make complete ar5es of themselves when putting across their interpretation of the written laws - Current members of the thin blue line who post to this forum excepted. |
