Apologies if this has already been covered.

For those of you who may be travelling through Belgium –
It seems the overtaking restriction for >3.5T does not apply to motorhomes (if my interpretation is correct)
___________________________________________________________ __
Le 04 mai 2007 est paru au Moniteur Belge, l’arrêté Royal du 26 avril 2007, modifiant l’arrêté royal du 1er décembre 1975, portant règlement général sur la police de la circulation routière et de l’usage de la voie Publique.
Par cet Arrêté royal, l’interdiction de dépassement est applicable pour les conducteurs de véhicules et trains de véhicules, affectés au transport de marchandises, dont la masse maximale autorisée est supérieure à 3,5 tonnes, en dehors des agglomérations, sur les voies publiques dont la chaussée comporte deux bandes de circulation dans la direction suivie.
Cette modification du code de la route entre en vigueur le 1 janvier 2008
*******
Nouvelle interdiction d’application à partir du 1 janvier 2008
1. Pour qui cette interdiction est-elle d’application?
L'interdiction de dépasser s'applique aux conducteurs de véhicules et trains de véhicules, utilisés pour le transport des marchandises, dont la M.M.A. (MASSE MAXIMALE AUTORISÉE) est supérieure à 3,5 tonnes.
Afin de connaître la masse maximale autorisée d’un train de véhicules, la MMA du véhicule tracteur doit être ajoutée à la MMA de la remorque.
Il est à remarquer que l’interdiction de dépasser est uniquement d’application pour le transport de marchandises et non de personnes (autobus et autocars).

Hi,

your interpretation is not entirely correct:

There is since 1st January 2008 a new overtaking restriction in Belgium: Effectively this is a general overtaking ban for all goods vehicles with a maximum allowed mass of more than 3.5 tons, outside of towns and if there are not more than two lanes in driving direction.

This general ban is only valid for goods vehicles, so not for buses or motorhomes.

Best Regards,
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,
I thought that is what I had said - but obviously didn't make myself clear enough. Thanks for confirming and clarifying this for everyone.
