    Improper passing
    There are several ways to pass improperly. For one, most states prohibit passing on the right except under certain circumstances (like if a road has 2 or more lanes).

    More serious are the maneuvers that put everyone on the road in obvious jeopardy, such as passing on a blind curve or shoulder. Depending on the location, improper passing could tack about 4 points to a driver's record.

    I don’t care who’s offended by it. I feel zero obligation to crawl along at a snails’ pace in the right lane for no other reason than some doofus doing likewise in the next lane.

    this from an Ohio traffic lawyer

    VC 21754....

    1. On a highway within a business or residence district with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width and clearly marked for two or more lines of moving traffic in the direction of travel;
    2. On any highway outside of a business or residence district with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width and clearly marked for two or more lines of moving traffic in the direction of travel;
    Seem normal enough to me.

    so suffice it to say, i really did not know such a right lane passing law existed either, but it does.

    i will NOT look up all 48 lower states traffic laws, so let's "just go" with it that it is a law in perhaps all 48 lower states.???

    But the point is we shouldnt have to pass in the right if everyone would stay in the right lane going slow where they belong
