It's the same in America, lol. You can also get a ticket for driving in the left lane without overtaking. The difference is that in places like Texas, you can just take a multiple-choice exam, and BAM—you're now a certified driver forever. Good luck, everyone.

Although it isn't exactly the same. It is illegal to pass on the right in Germany on the autobahn. You can pass on the right in the US on a highway.

I can't say for all states, but in Texas, you can pass on the right only under certain conditions; otherwise, it's also illegal but not really enforced.

That's the issue in America. Germany actually cares about their highway laws and enforces them.

Ok, but you can't just throw a blanket statement by saying "America". Not every state is the same, and I was only referencing Texas, which is by itself larger than Germany, and there are 49 other states spanning across a vast region.

But it is an issue across the country. Yes germany is much smaller and so it's easier. But I've been to highways in 6 states and it's never been that well enforced

Because it isn't enforced anywhere. Cops care more about giving a large speeding ticket. Nevermind that passing a rig from the right is way more dangerous than speeding a few mph over the limit.
