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?
It’s not enforced in the US at all.
Just like how keeping to the right except to pass isn’t.
That depends on how the cops feeling. A guy I used to work with got pulled over for doing the speed limit in the left lane for “impeding traffic”
It’s the passing lane, not the speed limit lane. Glad he got a ticket.
This needs to happen way more often.
If I were a traffic cop, I’d pretty much just enforce this one law. All day. Every day. Left lane squatter? Straight to jail.
There’s a cop in Wells, Nevada that likes to drive ten under the speed limit and then pull people with out of state license plates over for “passing a cop”. So, y’know, a lot of traffic rules are arbitrary.
Passing a cop is illegal?
Limit’s 55. I’d be doing 55. He was doing 45. He wrote 70 on the ticket. It was cheaper to pay than to travel 800 miles to contest the ticket, which had to be done in person. So yeah, he made it illegal.
And was probably just waiting for you to lose your cool so he could make it much worse for you
Oh definitely. Dad made us do martial arts at the local police captain’s dojo so we knew how to handle ourselves around police. Also because he needed to bribe them after taking a wrongful death case against a local cop and they kept pulling him over for “broken” taillights. It was an enlightening experience.
I was just going back through some of my replies.
Jesus criss Angel. Dad trained us in martial arts in the fucking dojo that the police captain owned.
Let’s stop right there

Fuck you. Fuck pathological lying and all liars and the lies they say.
