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 illegal in Oregon either and I actually looked up the statute to confirm.

    You seriously got pulled over for flashing your lights at a left lane camper? I thought it was actually codified in law down there (or maybe one of the neighboring states) that you can flash your light to indicate your desire to pass.
