- netsharc 2y agoWell to be pedantic, if I'm in a car and I'm "starting to overtake", I'd still be behind the overtake "target", but I just started speeding up...
- cosmicradiance 2y agoNot really, you first have to catch up the vehicle ahead, before you start overtaking. At present, they are miles behind.
