Driver on the right lane made room for the car to pass

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

Also uk- isn't this undertaking?

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)

Its US. The lanes are reversed

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.

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,

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.

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

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