Explanation
As a general rule, you should pass other vehicles on the left. However, in many states, it is legal to pass a left-turning vehicle on the right if you can do so safely and there is enough space on the pavement to complete the pass. This maneuver is highly crash-prone and must be done with extreme caution. Never use the shoulder or leave the pavement to pass on the right, as other drivers may not expect you to be there.
