Why is it illegal to pass someone on the right on the highway in the US? In Canada if there’s a three lane highway which, in my case, isn’t very prominent, there’s really no law that enforces it, it’s more of a respect thing here on two lane highways both ways if someone is going slow in the left lane to go into the right but I’m just curious as to why it’s actually enforced in the US?
I was living in Colorado a few years back as a new teenage driver and the law, which I was at the time unaware of, was indeed enforced upon me. Granted I didn’t get a ticket, but I was pulled over and handed a warning slip from the police officer.
