I pass on he right several times a day. I especially like to do it to Truckers who enjoy the tyranny of trying to use two lanes by leaving the right lane empty. If a driver doesn’t want people passing him on the right, he needs to move right and let them pass him on the left. I make it a point to pass truck drivers on the right even if I could pass them on the left. And on my daily commute that’s pretty normal since it’s a six-lane freeway
When I’m driving on a multilane road and there’s an open lane to the left and right of a slower moving vehicle, the Libertarian going 30 mph over the limit will pass on the right 9 times out of 10. I think they figure the cops are less likely to notice if they pass on the right.
“.... that’s pretty normal since it’s a six-lane freeway”
On a six lane highway the far right TWO lanes are the most dangerous places for a truck to be.
Think a minute.
99% of traffic entering or exiting the highway does so in the far right lane. There are the occasional left lane exits but they are the exception, not the rule.
By staying in the center lanes truckers are actually increasing your chances of a safe commute by taking themselves out of the path of accelerating and slowing traffic that intermingles at entry/exit points.
I know this due to seventeen years of otr trucking.
Believe me, worse accidents occur when large vehicles with little maneuverability are limited to right lanes.
