See, the problem is, that this was not the situation, as we are told it. I
believe the quote goes something like "at a cruising speed of about 80 mph
when I was unreservedly passed by a caravan a 6 new Audis. It was dark but
they looked like A6s. I was in the left (fast) lane as I was pushing the
limits of 'safely' exceeding the speed limit. The first three cars zoomed
past me on the right at a speed exceeding mine by at least 20 mph."
In other words, there was NO traffic in the right lane, since the first
three could "zoom past on the right", at 20Mph higher speed. Jacob was only
in the left lane because he felt like being there, and for no other good
reason at all!
