But are there rules that disallow overtaking on the right?

• cgriswald 10y ago
  For most states, those rules generally don't apply when the passing is happening in a lane of travel. Instead, they refer to situations like using an exit-only lane to pass, trying to pass in a gap between parked cars, or passing on the shoulder.

  In Utah, we can pass on the right as long as there are more than two lanes. If there are only two lanes, you are supposed to only pass on the left. As noted in other comments, this is state-based and I've never once seen it enforced.

  Strangely more people seem to know about this than about only using the left lanes to pass. I have seen several people get worked up about being passed on the right, to which my response is "why were you driving on the left"? They don't realize that the slower vehicle chooses the overtaking lane - whichever lane they aren't occupying. In my opinion it's down to the signage: "SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT". Nobody wants to think of themselves as slower. Should say "LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY".
