The last 3 overtakes were a bit tight though ? The 1st couple on the straights were fine but the black car cut him up , the Audi was flying and the red car cut in quite late.

I don't have a dash cam but I've attached a picture of myself before anyone gets smarts and accuses me of illegal activities

NSL dual in a car it will be 70.

And on video that would 100% be deemed an illegal undertake whether the other car is in the wrong lane or not. If you' stayed in left lane, you could maybe argue slower moving traffic etc etc...but deliberate lane change to pass then change back again breaks all those silly rules.

Gotta wonder how the hell the van ended up there, and totally wiping out a lamp post too ! they take some hammering ( and I know, I did one years ago )

HWC says they should not use the outside lane of 3 or more lane motorways. It doesnt state must not though. So cant see it being illegal.

Two wrongs don't make a right , but he was "excessively using the overtaking lane" .

Q590: What types of vehicles are not allowed in the outside lane on the motorway?
The types of vehicles not permitted to use the right hand (offside) lane on a motorway, which has three or more lanes open for use by traffic travelling in the same direction are:
  • a goods vehicle having a maximum laden weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes,
  • a goods vehicle having a maximum laden weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes but not exceeding 7.5 tonnes, which is required to be fitted with a speed limiter
  • a passenger vehicle which is constructed or adapted to carry more than eight seated passengers in addition to the driver the maximum laden weight of which exceeds 7.5 tonnes;
  • a passenger vehicle which is constructed or adapted to carry more than eight seated passengers in addition to the driver the maximum laden weight of which does not exceed 7.5 tonnes, which is required to be fitted with a speed limiter.
  • a motor vehicle drawing a trailer
  • a vehicle which is a motor tractor, a light locomotive or a heavy locomotive.
There are exceptions to this rule, which are:
  • when it is necessary for the vehicle to be driven to enable it to pass another vehicle which is carrying or drawing a load of exceptional width.
  • for a vehicle to change lane during a period when it would not be reasonably practicable for it to do so without involving danger of injury to any person or inconvenience to other traffic.
