Where I live (Holland, Europe) at the moment passing on the right is illegal. It is also illegal to hang in the left lane if the right lane is empty (BMW owners will remind you with flasing headlights if you do and pass you on the right anyway). Now, some political people suggest to change the 'no right passing' into the 'stay in your lane' principle as they think it will be a solution to ever increasing peak hour traffic jams (in the west of Holland). They claim that 'stay in your lane' is common in the USA. -- MH ('77 96 '78 95 '79 96) http://members.tripod.com/mhilvers/index.htm Remove NOSPAM from E-mail address.
