An example. You have a left lane leading left or straight. Right lane leads only straight. Now a vehicle in the left lane is taking left turn and another vehicles behind it slow down. You come by the right lane with other cars in front and behind you. Will you now slow down not to overtake the slowly moving left lane? Of course not because you would simply block the traffic.

but this was not the case. here we have 3 lanes going to the same direction. there is no reason why anyone should be able to overtake on the right here.

Doesn't matter. It's legal to undertake in a city in Croatia. Same here in CZ.

The example was to give an idea why it is not forbidden because it can not be realistically enfoced.

Oh wow. This won't look good for Ogier or the sport. Even if there is a team member there to sort it out, can't see how this turn out good for them.

Stage red-flagged. Sounds like a big crash...

OVERtaking is fine anywhere including city centres, but any UNDERtaking is not allowed in the UK unless the lane you are in is turning off the main road.

Here is one more video. Police clearly indicates that you can't drive further but Ogier still drives away.
