Neil, I'm not making excuses for anyone, but as I've been driving a lot longer than you, I probably have more experience, and certainly don't behave in a manner that would endanger other road users.

No you are completely wrong Steve, here is the legal definition for you to look at


Can you receive a penalty for undertaking?

Some drivers may find it tempting to undertake, especially if they’re faced with a middle-lane hogger, but be aware that it can be dangerous and you can be fined for doing so.

Undertaking recklessly could see you receive a fixed penalty notice (FPN) for careless driving or driving without due care and attention.



I don't hog the middle lane, and like to "make progress", but it is always better to arrive five minutes late in this world, than ten minutes early in the next
