That actually works out better for her. He chose to only issue her a ticket for something she'll have a much easier time fighting in court. Speeding is a bit harder to disprove. He did her a favor, but she still has the right to defend herself. He can't issue the other tickets after the fact so all she has to do is prove she was using the left lane to pass.
Since police cars have dash cameras, ask if it is available in court. If you were only going 5 over, it'll show you passing responsibly and moving back into your lane.
