+1 The police have made driving on the left with no intention of passing or turning de-facto legal, therefore the only possible outcome is that passing on the right becomes de-facto legal. Around here (Chicago suburbs, semi-urban), it is not uncommon for people to drive for miles in the left lane with no other cars around them. Probably 75% of the time, when I see cars turning onto the road I'm on, they will turn IMMEDIATELY into the left lane and stay there, even with no other traffic in the right lane. It's almost comical -- it seems many drivers are actually preferring to drive in the left lane, and basically, the left lane is the normal lane, and the right lane is clear for passing. Some days, I feel like I must be living in England.
