So he was polite, gave advice and let you off ....
Did you get his name ? I will have to speak to him, we can't have too much of that ... us Trafpols have a reputation to maintain

Whats undertaking? Carrying on in the lane your in as the traffic slows
to your right ? Do you slow to their speed?
Or as I suspect moving left increasing your speed and then back to the
right..

I only tend to undertake if the left hand lane is clear as far as the eye can see - I don't bother weaving in and out to make a point. The point is made far better if you undertake at a moderate speed and then stay in that lane.
Although TBH most of them are that blinkered that 5 miles later they are still sat in the outside lane doing 60 and they wouldn't have got the point if it had come up and slapped them round the face!

Whilst I see your point, I find that it's best to complete the move as quickly as possible - just like OVERtaking in fact.

What I mean by moderate is I don't fly past in 3rd at 90mph giving them the Nescafe wave 
I don't use hand signals any more - unless its to thank someone.
I think thats why I was 'let off'. That and the fact that he was a genuinely nice and particularly sensible bloke.
