The wording of Rule 130 is this:In that case, an argument could be put forward that every single overtake is unnecessary. Why not just wait?
Once we move on from that and accept that making progress when lawfully possible to do so is fine, then I would argue that it is necessary to use the hatched area to increase Matts safety.
On police driving courses you are taught to enter them when overtaking.
If the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so.
There's no problem with safe overtakes completed 10 yards down the road. And no necessity to overtake on a hatched off area for right-turning vehicles because it would have been completely acceptable 10 yards down the road. Anyhow, that's what the HC says and had the driver been taking the test, they'd have got a fail.
