Undertake, in the context of passing on the left.
When one vehicle passes another vehicle travelling in the same direction it is said to 'overtake' it. Whether that be on the right or on the left it is still overtaking. Undertaking is a pledge or promise to do something or the profession of a mortician.
I think the bdisation of the language annoys me more than that the act itself (other than where it is explicitly allowed).

You know, that's never bothered me until you've mentioned it. But you're right. When one vehicle passes another vehicle travelling in the same direction it is said to 'overtake' it.

“ I don’t disagree”
Doesn’t that mean you agree then? Why just not say that in the first place?
I think "I don't disagree" is used when, during a discussion, somebody has made a point which is not relevant, or doesn't have an impact on what YOU are saying.Doesn’t that mean you agree then? Why just not say that in the first place?
To put it another way it's used instead of "What you are saying may or may not be right and actually I don't care about it anyway but the point I am making is something else"
