Undertaking is not forbidden only discouraged, unless it is done dangerously.On all roads, undertaking is permitted if the vehicles in the lane to the right are queueing and slow moving. Undertaking in an aggressive or reckless manner could be considered Careless Driving or more seriously Dangerous Driving, both of which are legally enforceable offences.
I think in this particular case it would be dangerous/careless, driving. Otherwise you could be doing it all the time.I'm alright JackComment

I spoke to a cop once who said he'd stop anyone doing it. Not very practical on the M25 most mornings...Comment

In that situation I thank god that I no longer live in the UK with it's greater than average amount of terrible drivers and look forward to getting back to the mainland where the majority of people know how to use lanes properly.. with the risk that if you don't use lanes properly then approx 2 seconds later you'll see in your rear view mirror a Porsche screaming over the horizon with lights on full beam and you better move out the way fast.
unrestricted motorways in germany, you gotta love 'em...
... unless you're a biker travelling back from the Netherlands to Munich on Sunday afternoon and then you see motorways as your ultimate private race track, although without a game over try again option.Last edited by chef; 21 May 2012, 11:51.The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

If we drove on the Mway, like the French, mostly, do on the autoroutes, would render it un-necessary anyway, as their lane discipline is much better than us.Comment
