i know this is a rule, but why? i cannot think of how or why this would be bad. also, if you’re in the middle lane, pass to the right for an exit, and happen to be going faster than the middle lane, is that illegal?
so sorry if this is mega dumb but i genuinely cannot understand why this is illegal.

Passing on the right is illegal if the lane change is illegal, like if there’s a solid line rather than a – – – dotted line. Or if you’re trying to use the shoulder of the road to pass, rather than an actual lane.
Otherwise, it’s not illegal to pass on the right. There’s an “expectation” that slower vehicles should use the right lane, and faster vehicles should pass by using the left lane, but sometimes it doesn’t happen that way. So you can pass on the right if there’s a slower vehicle stuck in the left lane… but because it may be somewhat “unexpected”, be careful when you do it. Perhaps there’s a reason why that vehicle on the left lane is so slow, that you’re not seeing, so be careful when you pass on the right.
