why is it bad to pass on the right?

Question

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.

Answer 1

Because it makes it organized instead of every man for himself. You can also predict cars left to go faster and right to go slower instead of everything being a chaos.

And yes you can overtake right if you drive in the exit lane
