Either way, you went into the left lane without considering whether you had the space to do so.

I think you're greatly underestimating how long a pass should take. The pass as described (3 vehicles going 110 km/h being passed by a car going 120 km/h) would take more than 30 seconds. With a 10 km/h speed differential, 30 seconds will gain you about 80 meters on the cars in the right lane. Even if you only allow a second between each of the 3 vehicles (and add the same behind the last vehicle and in front of the first one to allow for safe lane changes) that's about 200 meters you need to gain on them to pass. Even if you're going 140 km/h the pass would still take 25 seconds to make.
