    Where I live, it’s illegal to pass on the right, and anywhere else it is more dangerous because it’s unexpected.

    Keep off the passing lane unless you are passing another vehicle.

      I never cruise in the passing lane, ever. It’s a major pet peeve of mine. If I’m not passing anyone, I’m as far right as possible.

      Unfortunately literally nobody else does this in my town. They drive side-by-side and then get upset when I try to go around. Going the speed limit does not give you the right to block traffic, assholes. Drives me insane.

        Sounds more sane than your original comment, but I still want to point out that you are part of the problem if you keep passing on the right.

        It’s better to calmly wait and/or teach the drivers in the left lane to change lane when not needed, rather than enabling them by just “solving” the problem by passing on the right.

        Edit: spelling
