Looking at their behaviour on long straights of two way roads, I find that the only place they don't overtake is when two slow vehicles in front travelling at the same speed as eachother are spaced sufficiently far apart to prevent the faster vehicle getting back into the gap between them - the faster one just then tailgates the slower one, rather than attempting an overtake... perhaps something similar is happening if every tile is a one way road tile - the road vehicle assumes that there isn't anywhere to pull in later...?
