HC Deb 01 June 1937 vol 324 cc869-70W
Sir G. Mitcheson

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been drawn to the growing practice of vehicles overtaking other vehicles on the wrong side; and what steps he proposes to take to restrict this dangerous practice?

Dr. Burgin

Some drivers encourage this undesirable practice by not keeping far enough to the left, but I have no evidence that it is growing. The Highway Code directs drivers to keep to the left and to overtake on the right.
