Why didn't he pass her on the right? If I understand you correctly she was going the speed limit and therefore no one should be passing her anyway.
The Trooper must know that a person can pass on the right per TITLE XXI MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAPTER 265 RULES OF THE ROAD.
265:19 When Overtaking on the Right is Permitted. – The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass on the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:
I. When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn;
II.
Upon a roadway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for 2 or more lines of vehicles moving lawfully in the direction being traveled by the overtaking vehicle;
III. The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. Such movement shall not be made by driving off the roadway.
