Seymour said the car in front of him was driving erratically, speeding up and slowing down in the right lane.

They are both in the wrong here.

Guy being passed should be in the left lane. He is filming with his phone while driving and is speeding (technically).

Seymour is speeding faster. Is undertaking, while undertaking is not illegal, it is a driving convention that people expect because that's how people are taught. People generally are doing checks in their middle and right mirrors, anyone on the left is less likely to be seen.

Only one of them is actually committing a ticketable offence though, as a speedo reading isn't accurate enough to issue a ticket.
