Hi can you tell me if it is legal to overtake on a speed hump?
For that matter is there a different speed restriction when going over speed humps ?
thanks

Hi there,
As for speed I would assume if no speed sign present at the entrance of the streets then a 50kmh limit would apply.
A driver must not pass or attempt to pass another vehicle moving in the same direction unless—
(a) the movement can be made with safety; and
(b) the movement is made with due consideration for other users of the road; and
(c) sufficient clear road is visible to the driver for the passing movement to be completed without impeding or being likely to impede any possible opposing traffic; and
(d) until the passing movement is completed, the driver has a clear view of the road and any traffic on the road for at least 100 m in the direction in which the driver is travelling
I can't see any legislation that is specific to speed humps.
