Oh, it's always dangerous to overtake on the right. I think the idea was that if going slightly faster, overtaking properly, the driver is more situationally aware and not trapped inside a chain of vehicles all moving together.

But yeah, I'm not convinced. I think it's more important to emphasize situational awareness and always seeking the safe exit. It struck me as careless to suggest a standard practice of overtaking traffic to an audience of teenagers.
