Apologies - you’re correct. I should have been more specific in that I was referencing the scenario of:
I’m car 2, waiting to pass car 1. (Who’s passing a car slowly ). I have safe following distance.
Car 3, passes me in the right lane, and then either follows car 1 closely, or, quickly passes them on the right. (Usually as they’re in the process of moving over, causing them to then swerve back).
I realize I communicated this in an absolutely abysmal fashion.
One part of your post was about people passing on the right. People won't do that if you're in the rightmost lane.
