I suspect undertaking is actually legal. The rules in the Highway Code are only law if they have the words ‘must’ or ‘must not' then they also include references to the corresponding legislation. So looking at rule 268, it doesn't have these words or the corresponding legislation:
Whereas rule 269 does:Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake.
Hard shoulder. You MUST NOT use the hard shoulder for overtaking. In areas where an Active Traffic Management (ATM) Scheme is in force, the hard shoulder may be used as a running lane. You will know when you can use this because a speed limit sign will be shown above all open lanes, including the hard shoulder. A red cross or blank sign above the hard shoulder means that you MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or breakdown. Emergency refuge areas have also been built into these areas for use in cases of emergency or breakdown.

As happens to me recently car a is the the outside lane doing 80, crests a hill and there is an armchair in the middle of the lane. Ends up driving along the gravel in the central reservation while nearly needing fresh pants.Comment
