If I have applied for a visit visa outside the U.K. can I overstay my current one?

Hello everyone,
I have applied for a second visit visa to the U.K. outside the U.K. I have to travel the the U.K. because of personal circumstances and I was wondering if I am allowed to overstay until I get a decision on my other visa
Thank you!

No you can't overstay. Also my understanding is, if you leave your home country while awaiting a decision, your visitor visa application will be withdrawn.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Are you a German citizen or a non-EEA citizen? Are you related (spouse, child or parent) to a non-British EEA citizen?
I am not a lawyer or immigration advisor. My statements/comments do not constitute legal advice. E&OE. Please do not PM me for advice.
