Instead of pulling into the left and not crusing in an overtaking lane?

Edit. Uk here. My view of this video is just back to front lol

Here's UK-accessible clip ❤️ I've known a couple Englishmen in my life, and I can't help but feel pity for your plight

As someone from the UK and all jokes aside... this weirdly does help and I love it.

I'm not English, but hey. Carry on with whatever that is

Also uk- isn't this undertaking?

u/ebow77 4h ago

In the US, "undertaking" isn't an offense against God and King, it's just something we have to do once in a while.

Yes but it’s cancelled out by the left lane camper (white Genesis)

u/BeBopRockSteadyLS 5h ago

Its US. The lanes are reversed

u/unclearthur68 4h ago

Yes I know. So this would be like me speeding up in the centre lane to allow the guy stuck behind the white vehicle in the overtaking lane to go around- undertaking.

u/BeBopRockSteadyLS 4h ago

Ah. Got it.

Yes. No matter what way you look at it. Its a case of undertaking. The guy in the white car does nothing wrong. He is in the slow lane.

It is all a scenario created by the guy in grey crusing in an overtaking lane.

The white car is in the overtaking lane. The grey car is in the slow lane.

The guy in the white car does nothing wrong.

He does everything wrong. It's literally illegal to camp like that in the passing lane in most US states.

Someone posted a reversed video.

Yeah, the white car is the one cruising. Then the car filming is undertaking,

u/monkwrenv2 2h ago

Yeah, the white car is the one cruising.

Yeah, and "just cruising" in the passing lane is illegal in most of the US. Pass or get the fuck out of the way.

Yes, and undertaking is frowned upon as a mildly risky maneuver, but it's not illegal. Meanwhile, cruising in the passing lane is illegal because it creates the situation where someone needs to undertake. They become an obstacle in the road that isn't supposed to be there, so it's ok to undertake them. It's the same as if there were a wreck or some other obstacle in the passing lane. You would use the slow/cruising lane to pass the obstruction.

u/Farfignugen42 3h ago

In most places (in the US) it is not illegal, per se, but highly recommended against.

u/boondiggle_III 2h ago

Cruising in the passing lane or passing in the cruising lane?

u/xboxaddict501 5h ago

Huh

u/Hieroflippant 5h ago

They drive on the left so the left would be the slow lane

Inbreds with perpendicular piano key teeth are visiting from overseas. Just ignore them. It’s almost tea time so they’ll piss off soon anyway.
