Can see that causing a few discussions on here but i did hear something similar. A undertake is classed as moving in, passing then moving back out. If you are in the inside lane and pass someone just because you are going quicker than them then i dont think there is an issue with that. Ive done it a few times with police behind me and they havent pulled me so either lazy cops or its not that bad lol.
