of undertaking?I was westbound out of Grimsby (!) this morning and someone in a blue Mundano was doing 65 ish in lane 2 on the 2 lane stretch of the M180.I had plenty of time so wasn't too bothered and stayed in lane 1 about 100 yds behind this guy.Several (10-12) drivers were obviously in a bit more of a rush and after flashing the Mundano "undertook" it.This went on for out 6 miles.Who is the bigger problem and what would be the BiBs view of the "undertakers?

Perfectly acceptable, bordering on compulsory.

If you can be undertaken, then you are in the wrong lane.

I say steam in there cautiously - he might wake up when you're halfway past and might not see you as he swerves left.

I am sure they would say "they provide a great service to those who are going through their darkest hour and are traditionally sedate drivers* unlike people who overtake on the inside"

I really don't like it, but these days I am more inclined to do it rather than suffer the frustration of being stuck behind someone who will not move over.

Whatever the law may say about it, I now do it but warily and with only a smallish speed differential.

Best wishes all,
Dave.

There are times, when all else fails, that you have to - if you want to make progress past these f***wits!

I couldn't agree more (I posted a very similar sentiment recently and got a hard time for it.)

I have practice based on an opinion that is likely to affect those that do this.

There is no point in posting that opinion because it is apparently not relevant to the site and there are certain members who would prefer that I did not post my views as they do not like them

Oh come on 'gone', I'm listening, honestly. If I think you've got it wrong I'll put you right.

Best wishes all,
Dave.
