Its illegal Ronnie, you can only pass on the right in Mass. when the car in front, is turning left or about to turn left, or you are driving down a divided highway, jersey barriers, grass strip and so on being the divider. Yellow lines in the middle of a road does not make a divided highway. Pick up the phone and ask the chief why the patrol officers are looking the other way

When? Probably about the same time that all the driving rules that you HAD to know in order to get your license were completely ignored on the road.

Things like Signal before a turn, Slow down before a turn, any right of way scenario, tailgating, passing in the breakdown lane and eating/drinking/reading/manicure/makeup/phoning/texting while driving.

Did I forget any really important stuff?
It drives me crazy when I see just how wreckless today's drivers are.
It makes me believe that today's driving "schools" are just teaching their student/paychecks on how to pass the exam, and not how to actually drive. (Maybe they figure they'll get that experience once they get on the highway?)

they were doing that on the highway off ramp in Georgia where i lived
for 1 1/2 years and when i asked a Georgia state cop about those people
doing 75 that merge at the very last minute he didn't care.

next day, i was doing the same thing.... and it was a crap shoot finding
the opening but worth the effort to not have to sit in bumper to bumper traffic.
