Did your mother never mention anything along the lines of "two wrongs don't make a right"? No matter WHAT speed you're doing, on roads with multiple lanes, you stay left unless overtaking. If you wish to change lane into a lane to your right, you make sure that it is clear to do so. Once you've overtaken, you move back to the left again as soon as you can safely do so. It's as simple as that.

'Post'?

It was claimed, yet the bloke towing a trailer tent STILL managed to pass on the left...? B'sides, haven't we moved from there into more general MLOC 69.5mph-and- none-shall-pass vigilante territory?
