How it's Supposed to Work
This is, in case you didn't know, how the highway system works. I've seen a lot of signs outside of California that remind drivers of this rule, but I think this one is the most clear. Even though I'm rarely the passing lane vehicle, I'm always a bit concerned for people that try and pass me on the right. For any non-truck drivers out there, It's a hard side of the truck to see. It's especially dangerous in the rain because the large, wide, and multiple tires of the truck throw up more than a lot of water. This large cloud of water created by the truck reduces visibility even more than normal. If you're a car without headlights on in the rain trying to pass a truck on the right side... Well, don't be surprised if you get merged into a guardrail or trailer.

That can't be right.
You know what can also happen when you try to pass on the right? You can get forced onto off-ramps that you shouldn't be taking.
yeah... I'm talking about you.
