He would travel at 45 in the middle lane...

I remember seeing one of those Police Camera type programs, and there was an "advanced motorist" sitting in lane 3 at 70mph. The police pulled him over and booked him even though his defence was "I was driving at the speed limit - nobody should need to overtake me because
they would be the ones breaking the law"
He got a fixed penalty as far as I recall - on the basis that traffic management is not his responsibility. Your ex-colleague sounds more dangerous than that, though.
I'm entitled to be a bit self-rightoeus about people who drive too fast. Last week I slowed to a stop behind a car waiting to turn right. The car behind skidded to jogging pace and used my car to finish his braking manoeuvre.
