Passing on the left in regions with LH traffic (RHD)

Since it is the opposite of Overtaking, it is typically called undertaking, especially if you try to undertake a large truck with limited visibility on the passenger side.

I drive a lot in the UK for work. I see it occasionally when younger and/or angry drivers get frustrated with overtaking lane hoggers. Sometimes I also see people do it very slowly and overtly for that same reason.

Generally, I don't think people want to do it and are aware of the dangers. But it's easy to do it without being caught, unless it goes wrong of course.
