You can tell he is American because he blocks the left line while the right lane is free

There is a blue van in the right lane, and at 270 km/h (168 MPH), he's going to be right behind it in a second. Therefore the lane is not – in fact – free.

I hope for everyone's sake you don't drive.

There is a blue van in the right lane,

*car in front of a blue road sign

at 270 km/h (168 MPH), he’s going to be right behind it in a second.

The bollards on the right side of the road are at a distance of 50m from each other, by which we can estimate that the other car is at least 250 to 300 meters away. 270km/h equals 75m/s so they are about 4 seconds behind (if the other car was stationary).

Therefore the lane is not – in fact – free.

To answer this question it is much more important to know what is on the right lane next to or behind the car, which we do not see in this image anyway.
