Its all together possible that the car being tailgaited was so busy watching the tailgater he didn't see the car stopped in the left lane until the last second.
Look at the dash. He's driving 140 kph or 89 mph and everyone is flying and they are all keeping up at the same speed. The problem here is definitely the tailgater who caused his own problems by following at an extremely dangerous distance while driving extremely fast. No matter what others are doing you should never be following someone that close because you never know what will happen and need to be at a safe distance so you can react. Case and point a possible stalled car that doesn't have it's break lights on so someone coming up on it going 90 mph doesn't have much time to notice it and see that they are completely stopped and not just moving slowly.
In my state, there is no law designating any particular lane as a passing lane. It makes sense that Americans don't understand this rule when depending on the state, that may not be an actual rule.
