Passing on right

[Anonymous]

Is it just bad driving behavior or against law?
I pass slow cars, which cruise at below average speed but stay in the second lane from the right, on right when I need to exit soon. Should I move two lanes over to the left to pass these car?

I think in Virginia it is legal to pass on the right in a situation that you describe

In DC people do it when you stop at stop signs. Just whip right around because why not?

If you’re about to exit, it might be better to just chill out. But if there’s a really slow car in a middle lane, I think it’s okay to go by on the right. I think it’s okay to pass a slow car in the left lane too, but in each situation you just need to recognize that the situation is out of whack and be extra aware and cautious and prepared for the slow car to not see you and try to merge right.

It’s legal to pass on the right in Maryland. If someone’s doing 55 in the left lane, which is not uncommon, yeah, I’m going to pass them on the right if I can do so safely.

Illegal to pass on the right in NY state.

Huh? So if you’re on a highway and the left most lane is doing 55, no one can go faster?

Why do you need to go faster than the speed limit? Are you privileged?

It's simple. First, you should not be in the left lane unless you are passing someone. Second, you should not be speeding. OP said they wanted to pass cars going less than "average speed" which I'm sure if faster than the speed limit. Obviously, they need a driver refresher course.
