Explanation
If you're in the middle lane of a three-lane expressway, other drivers may legally pass you on the right. You are not required to change lanes to accommodate the maneuver. Stay in your lane and maintain a steady speed - do not speed up, brake suddenly, or make any abrupt movements that could cause a collision. While passing on the right is legal in many states on multi-lane roads, it can be risky because the driver being passed may not expect it. Always be cautious and use signals when passing.
