Undertaking question
Discussion
t was on the outside lane of the motorway doing 65- 70 mph and refusing to pull over, he's in the wrong and you may undertake him.Meanwhile, in the actual Highway Code.
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.
Basically if you're in three lanes of snarled up traffic and yours is moving faster than the one to your right then keep moving with it. Otherwise, don't overtake on the left. Common sense stuff really.
Stand by for posts claiming that the Highway Code is just a bit of fun, and that you don't actually have to obey it according to their brother's mate who was told this by a bloke in a pub.
Or that at 70mph, if there are other cars in the lane then technically it's a queue.

Yes, meanwhile in the actual highway code http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Hig...Stand by for posts claiming that the Highway Code is just a bit of fun, and that you don't actually have to obey it according to their brother's mate who was told this by a bloke in a pub.

Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/MUST NOT’. In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence. An explanation of the abbreviations can be found in 'The road user and the law'.
Failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted. The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see 'The road user and the law') to establish liability. This includes rules which use advisory wording such as ‘should/should not’ or ‘do/do not’.
Where is the "MUST NOT" on undertaking...?
