I have since read that passing on the left is fine. It is usually a single car so never an issue, but this incident was something ive never come across while driving thats why I've posted about it. It was inevitable I wouldn't like all opinions and suggestions, such is the internet
There's nothing wrong with overtaking at 70 in the outside lane. Once you've finished overtaking just pull back to the left. Those who want to travel at 80+ would just have to be patient.
Wouldn't it be dull if everyone thought what you did was acceptable.
