Fox, my understanding on your point 2. is that it isn't strictly illegal.
You calling it overtaking or undertaking is just pejorative, the correct phrase would be "passing on the left" or "passing on the right".
This is important particularly in a case of filtering though traffic where you are both overtaking and undertaking.
This is perfectly legal.
I think people bunching up in the ASL or at the front at lights is perfectly acceptable.
If you are in primary at the front of the queue there are going to be an inevitable bunch of numpties who will "pass you on the left" and sit on your inside or more usually beyond the while line right where the pedestrians want to cross.
I think this is perfectly legal. It is just annoying since they are always fricking slow and wobbly so get in the way when you start up again.
Nothing to be done. At least they don't RLJ.
Frankly what would you rather? A long single line of cyclists with what a max of 2 in the ASL?
My pet hate is all the morons who just stop in the cycle lane (note often on the left - encouraging "undertaking") rather than going into the ASL box.
USE THE FRICKING BOX - DON'T STOP TO THE LEFT OF OF A VEHICLE IN THEIR BLIND SPOT - YOU CRETINS.
