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?

    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.
