Question
If I'm travelling down a three lane motorway at NSL in the nearside lane and I approach another vehicle which is travelling less than that in either of the other two lanes would I guilty of undertaking if I maintained my current speed and position?.
The reason for asking is that I see this sort of thing happening all the time on the M25 but generally not on any other motorways.

Just to put another slant on my original point. If a sign on the m25 (for instance) says " stay in lane congestion ahead" then if the traffic in your lane is travelling faster (irrespective of speed) than any in an outer lane it's ok to pass on the inside.
I cannot see any difference between that and undertaking in general provided it it done with care.
I have half a memory of the government putting forward a bill to legally allow passing on the inside on motorways. I guess it got thrown out not having heard anything further about it.
