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 don’t know about the US, but in Germany the right lane is for getting on and off the high way, so going very fast there might be dangerous. It also just makes things less chaotic, traffic becomes more predictable and driving less exhausting.
