This might be of some assistance:

39:4-85. Passing to left when overtaking; passing when in lines; signalling to pass; passing upon right

The driver of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall pass at a safe distance to the left thereof and shall not again drive to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle. If vehicles on the roadway are moving in two or more substantially continuous lines, the provisions of this paragraph and section 39:4-87 of this Title shall not be considered as prohibiting the vehicles in one line overtaking and passing the vehicles in another line either upon the right or left, nor shall those provisions be construed to prohibit drivers overtaking and passing upon the right another vehicle which is making or about to make a left turn.

IF there were in fact real lanes which you describe (literal white lines on the road) you should be gold. If it was simply a doubly wide road that everyone treats as two lanes.. then you're SoL

if this gets you off the ticket you owe me a beer. a nice blue moon..

If you're 21 of course :P
