Am I going blind? All I can see is an acceleration lane.

However, from reading this thread and similar others, am I picking up from some of the more "philosophical" and tolerant views expressed that overtaking on the nearside is now deemed acceptable on the open road where vehicles are NOT queuing in multiple lanes?
I read one comment to the effect that overtaking in this way is "not illegal .... never has been". Perhaps not illegal but in breach of the Highway Code and surely still likely to inform a prosecution case for due care. If this is the new situation, educational road signs imploring drivers to return to the nearside would appear to be irrelevant.
