What Bob is referring to is the fact that the left lane (assuming LHD
nations) on highways should always be treated as the passing lane,
with the right lane being the driving lane.  When you come up on a
faster driver, you move left, accelerate if your speeds are very
close, complete the pass, move right and resume your cruising speed.
There is never a reason to block a faster driver if you can safely
move out of the way, nor should you ever.
