RE: Passing On The Right
In Mass, if you've indicated a left turn with your signal, it's permissable for those behind you to pass on the right if there's reasonable room to do so (not on the shoulder). At least that's what my driver's ed teacher told me 25 years ago! \\;

It's illegal here in CA but people do it all the time.

If it's clear and safe, why not?

RE: Passing On The Right
If A-Holes wouldnt ****ing cruise in the left lane obstructing the free flow of traffic......man when will they make that illegal?
It is preferable to pass a left turning vehicle on the right (if safe) than to slow or stop the main flow of traffic.
