Paint the picture in your mind, as above.

What would you do?
It's a wide 60mph single carriageway, with plenty of overtaking space, and the tailback is easily half a mile long, at a speed of 20mph at a guess?

This was on the opposite side of me and the frustration of the drivers nearing the end of the tailback was obvious

pay my respects and hold back, 10minutes longer on my journey as opposed to getting their quicker but looking a cunt would be an easy choice to make

I personally would've held back.
So many drivers, kept inching to the middle of the road wanting to overtake.
I can imagine them getting proper dirty looks if they did it.

How can you overtake in a polite manner? As said, I'd hold back and show my respects. If the opportunity arises, I'll also let them out of side streets etc.

If it really was a wide road I'd be past but not at full chat. Just another car(s) at the end of the day.

i dont see how overtaking is inconsiderate if you do it in a safe and nice manner.

im sure the people realise they are going slow so they would understand, i certainly would anyway.

There is a good chance that the procession will be several cars, so you'd need to overtake with a bit of haste if it's busy, so the choice may not actually be yours to be a "respectful" overtaker. But even then, I don't think there is a respectful way of overtaking the funeral cars.

overtake, they're slow moving traffic and should pull over to let others pass.

The sort of people who would get annoyed at a car overtaking a dead body need help.

This could've been avoided, tbh.
The procession could easily take a quieter route.

Perhaps a n00b decision from the driver.

It's not exactly a lack of respect by overtaking, people still have their own daily business to attend too. If it was a tractor you'd overtake, why's it different?

Overtake, i have seen a procession on the motorway before. Are you saying all 3 lanes should stay behind them? Why would anyone get offended by an overtake ffs
