He is not hugging the left lane, there is a car seen on the right, that he and the other traffic in front of him on the left lane, are passing.
The headphones are only partially visible and only on one ear. Due to the noise level inside, it could be argued to be hearing protection or maybe a headphone on one ear for voice navigation instructions. Not sure what the French law exactly prohibits there.
The speeding is according to the cars own speedometer. Most of us learned during driving school that a lorry must have calibrated speed but cars don’t. They all show too much, as they can’t show too little. It’s inaccurate by design. How inaccurate? We don’t know.
So besides a not named person complaining, I don’t think there is not much going to happen. At least the press can get some clicks, Max can say sorry into cameras and in a few days, the French police can release a statement that are glad he sees his wrongdoing and they now stopped their investigation.

LOL wut? 🤣🤣🤣🥸
TIL speedometers in cars don’t have to be accurate apparently. 🤷
A speedometer is on the technical side a rev meter. As you can change rim and tyre size (e.g. summer and winter tyres), the whole circumference changes, leading to different speeds that the car can’t measure. So with summer and winter it shows the same speed but in reality, you’re going different speeds.
As typically by law, the speedometer is not allowed to show too slow, it’s showing by design too fast. So that even after changing tyre size, it will still not accidentally show too little speed. It’s necessary due to the measuring method with unknown variables.
Lorries typically have a trip recorder for speed and rest periods. Their speedometer is usually calibrated, which is also why people often think they are speeding when comparing to their own car’s speedometer. But it’s the car showing the wrong number.
I just watched the video on Youtube:
