So it's not just stupid US drivers (ahem, Prius) that clog traffic by driving in the left lane with a slow vehicle? |

Guys, it's a still, not a movie so we don't really know how clogging traffic that was. Anyways, with a Cab Over Engine, I would guess that the driver knew at that time it was just a matter of few minutes to overtake the obsolete truck at its right, like it was with the Magirus just behind.
And while Tesla doesn't figure out how to build a Truck, the fastest ones still are the European Cab Over Engine trucks, namely those from Scandinavia... |

exactly, it is totally legal for a faster truck to overtake a slower one... _________________ regards
