We might say either overtake or pass. On a stretch of roadway where this is not permitted, signs would say "No Passing."

And 'undertake' when you use an inside lane to 'overtake'.

And someone who does that is called an undertaker? You Brits are certainly mysterious!

Or the action of the person who attends to you after they scrape you off the road. ![Angel [A]](/emoticons/emotion-13.gif)

That's why there are so many undertakers on the roads.
