There is no overtaking.

The inside lane car exits directly in front of the outside lane car that is not exiting.
Inside lane car is in front of outside lane car.
Inside lane car crosses into path of outside lane car. Crash happens.
This is the scenario why I "hang back" when in the RAB. I vary my speed so I am NEVER EVER beside another vehicle.

I have had one experience in all these years that scared the hell our of me. I did, however, avoid an accident because I JAMMED on my breaks and so did my carJAM on the breaks. Between the two of us, that accident was avoided. The scenario is when I was in the outside lane ready to exit at my first exit. Some person in the inside lane sped up to exit in front of me IN MY LANE. What a turkey!!!!! If I had not jammed on my breaks, there would have been a collision. The person was in the inside lane and should have STAYED in that lane to exit but NO, that person had to exit into the outside lane in front of me. I don't even think that person realized there was almost a collision. He/she went on their merry way, fat, dumb and happy!
