A question of etiquette ...

I may be tempted, if I determined it was safe to overtake more than one vehicle in one manoeuvre. Cutting in between the vehicles is a major no,no.

I never would. This was done when I was driving one day and other cars hooted at the one who overtook the cortege. It was not a large funeral cortege but even if it is just one car I think that it is disrespectful.

Congratulations on the arrival of the new GD.

Glad to see you here again, vegas and lovely news about the new GD. I know exactly where you mean, though I have not had the misfortune to encounter a funeral cortege there. Have you seen other drivers overtaking or are they all going along patiently behind the hearse? In other words, I just don't know!

Meant to add my congratulations too how lovely.

Just depends on whether you would be comfortable doing it lots of people do, but personally I think its rude and disrespectful. I do understand your dilemma if its happening to you all the time then you can be forgiven .

Nice to see you vegasmags and congratulations on your new baby GD how lucky you are.
I do think the thing that would worry me if overtaking a procession of cars is passing the cars in one go and to do it safely, I think it would be impolite to merge into the line of cars attending,is it part of your travelling to work if so can you not take a different route.
