Do you ever pass people on the right? (while driving)

I noticed today that i recently started passing people on the right when they dont move over on the highway. Im not mean about it (i.e. i dont flash my brights or ride their ass). I just pass them on the right if i dont think they move over in a decent amount of time...

Do you?
 
Yeah, if they are obviously going to slow (like the speed limit or under) and the left lane is blocked or somehow i can't really get in there... i'll just ease on by them in the right lane. They usually get the hint and take the right lane after I pass so they don't obstruct traffic.

Drivers in South Florida dont seem to get the hint. They stay in the lane no matter how many people pass em.
 
If I have to, yes. Most people are smart enough to either stay out of the left lane or move out temporarily if they see someone approaching at a fast rate.
 
Yes, tail-gating is rude and dangerous(blocking the left/fast lane is very inconsiderate also). So I end up passing slow pokes on the right.
 
all the time. If there is enough room for me to get around with a good deal of room infront of them (generally at night), and unless theyre doing like 80 im going around because, well.. i can. 😀

No. I don't have an extra $350 to give to the courts just because I was in a hurry. I can wait it out. Doesn't bother me at all.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason you see the line of 6 jackholes driving behind each other going 64 miles an hour in the left lane.... Let's give him a round of applause, shall we??
 
Yup, any time I make a long trip I end up having to pass some asshat on the right.

The best was this one guy in a junker going 60 in the left lane (speed limit is 70 here), me and a whole string of other cars were forced to pass him on the right. He seemed completely oblivious. A few miles later he went wizzing by well over 80MPH, until he was well out of my sight. Few minutes later I passed him on the right again, as he was doing 60 again. Odd.

You realize it's only illegal to pass on the right when there's only 1 lane per direction, right?

<cough>The right lane is the fast lane.</cough>
 
Yep all the time. Alot of people here are completly clueless on how to drive, they absolutely refuse to move over, so I go around.

from the California Vehicle Code:

21754. The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:

(a) When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn.

(b) Upon a highway within a business or residence district with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles in the direction of travel.

(c) Upon any highway outside of a business or residence district with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width and clearly marked for two or more lines of moving traffic in the direction of travel.

(d) Upon a one-way street.

(e) Upon a highway divided into two roadways where traffic is restricted to one direction upon each of such roadways.

The provisions of this section shall not relieve the driver of a slow moving vehicle from the duty to drive as closely as practicable to the right hand edge of the roadway.

Oh give me a break. E sounds like what it makes it ok though to do here...besides the speeding part but everybody does anyway, either that or its commute time (yech). Highway, grass, guardrail, grass, highway.
 
if i have to pass on the right, i will, generally i try and go on the left, some people just have no respect and go all slow in the left lane..
