Its legitimately unsafe. Having traffic on one side consistently faster than you and the other side slower greatly reduces the chance of accidents because you can have have some relative assurance that speeding up while merging left is safe and slowing down while merging right is safe. It also keeps faster traffic out of and further away from onramps/offramps.
Drive safe, don’t be an asshole, its not that complicated.
It’s a great argument actually. Speeding on the highway is generally expected. Going 20 over in front of a cop is unlikely to get you pulled over in most of the U.S. The cops are more than likely doing the same thing. Passing on the right on the other hand is very likely to get you pulled over if a cop sees it. It’s a very dangerous move to pull because it’s not something other drivers can predict that you’ll do. The last thing you want to do is turn a middle or right lane into a passing lane. Then the slower drivers that just want to cruise will be pressured to move, possibly into the left lane which is now no longer a passing lane which compounds the issue, and you just get chaos where different lanes are all going different speeds at random.
illegal
Speeding is “illegal” too, so that’s not really much of an argument.

No mf I want to drive 100+ that means I’m gonna pass on the right
/sarcasm
I mean, if you’re about that life, then yeah, gonna have to start weavin’ but that’s half the fun.
I need to buy a shitbox to throw boost at…
There’s a saying that I really like that seems relevant here - only break one law at a time.

They should pull over the person who got passed on the right instead. If someone is able to pass you on the right you’re in the wrong lane.
In California passing on the right is expected
Try Florida… It’s the norm
No, they pass on the shoulder lmao. (Grew up in FL)
Not in my state it isn’t.
