Hmm...I guess my sentences had missed some important points that I wanted to say and I sincerely apologize for that. Overtaking in the left lane - yes it is illegal. Why? Because of blind spot. The reason my previous post was I encountered a few times, I was driving at the speed limit in a quiet stretch. While I was cruising at the fast lane, after more than 2 minutes without any car in sight, a merc suddenly tailgated me and kept flashing his light. I dint know for how long it had been behind me, so I slowly steered to the left. To my surprise, he steered to the left to overtake me in a sudden. Luckily I looked at the rear view mirror and quickly steered back right.
So what will happen if he just overtakes me without tailgating? Nth. I would just see him pass through. If there is danger of him colliding with me because he overtakes me from the left then part of the fault is mine coz I should have signaled, make sure I'm free to swerve, then execute it.
If we think of it, yeah it is illegal to overtake from the left. But isn't it illegal to speed and tailgate too? There's no point to prove whose road it is, but to improvise everyday driving ethic to suit the most possible safest way to get from one place to another. I myself gave way to countless speeding cars on the highway. But whenever I drive in the fast lane, I keep to the speed limit. Sorry if I "hogged" some precious time of anyone involved. I myself when driving at 110kmh and encounter an aunty driving 80kmh in the fast lane, I'll follow cautiously and over take from the left, smoothly. Bcoz some drivers NEVER glance the rear view mirror. They are too focused to the front. But we can't really blame them, can we? Not everybody is Sebastian vettel and even some F1 drivers hogged the drive ways.
The above is only my humble opinion. Again, I'm sure not everyone will agree. But whatever it is in the disagreer mind, or even those who agrees, please drive responsibly. No point taking this fuss much further as nobody is right in everyone's eye thus I won't reply any further also. Sticking back to the topic, knowing a car top speed merely help you getting away from it. And if one really wants to know, there is always google. Or call your nearest car dealer and get a Leng lui salesgirl to tell you.
A car top speed that I know: Bugatti Veyron - 400kmh+
