In any case, passing on the right is idiotic. But if you can show me something that says that passing on the right is legal, even on a freeway, then you've officially created one more reckless driver. Following that "rule" has probably kept me a lot safer... especially when stuck behind Joe Slow going 60 in the far left lane, hoping for him to get over... Hell, thinking about it more I got a ticket for NOT passing on the right... I was following someone a little too close up I15 by Tremonton, right lane was clear, cop saw me from the other direction and flipped a U turn and pulled me over. To think I would've been fine if I just went around the jackass... Last edited by UT_Evo; 08-18-2009 at 05:03 PM. |

So then is it more lawful to pass someone on the right of 2 lanes, or to ride their ass like the pony your parents never bought you? I would assume that it would be FAR less reckless to move around them than to tailgate them.

I miss the Porsche for this reason, people yielded to it left and right on the freeway. Too bad our cop Evo friend left, or I'd ask him, he was the law master. |

It's Utah. If you're not right in front of them, you're in their blind spot.

Passing on the right may be legal, but it should be used as a last resort to a driver who refuses to yield. Also, suggesting that your only options are to tailgate or pass on the right is stupid. Slowing down and exercising some patience is a great third option that rarely results in collisions or road rage. |

Hardly, I just wanted the legal writings of it in case I get pulled over for it. Now I know, thank you very much Helmut, wish I would've found this out 7 years ago. I think Driver's Ed must've just said "no passing on the right" because it is unsafe... There seriously has been an invisible wall preventing me from passing on the right since I first started driving. Just like I have the legal writings for consent for sex with a minor in Utah And the front plate law as well. Always good to have, and if Helmut could find it that easily, saves me the hassle If anything, Helmut got owned for doing my work for me! |

No one explicitly suggested it, but Kentrik asked which is more reckless... tailgating or passing on the right. I should have better phrased my response to say that his omission of the third, least reckless option was unfortunate. |

My frustration is that there is no "right" way to drive in Utah. We were strictly told in driver's ed that it was illegal to change lanes at an intersection, no bars on that.
But you also have to remember, most of us get pissed if someone is going 62 in a 65. We forget that the road signs don't mean Suggested Speed, but actually Speed LIMIT. We should all be driving LESS THAN the limit to be in compliance with local traffic laws. Doesn't mean anybody does. Simply put, breaking the law is breaking the law. And if we do things we shouldn't ought to, we deserve the penalty. Fornication is also illegal in Utah, but it's not like anybody is gonna enforce that. That said, I still think that the OP should fight it. Had the same thing happened to me (and it almost did in South Jordan in December), I would have fought it tooth and nail. |

It was more like "Oh, sorry, what is the rule for following too closely? I thought it was a car length for the freeway"
"No, a car length per every 10 mph is what we suggest, though it is 10 feet per every 10 mph" "Oh, good to know, I'm very sorry" "That's okay, be careful out there, I know you were speeding too but I'll let you off with this following too close ticket instead" Second time it was: "You slowed down too fast, you need to come to a stop slower, I can stop as fast as you, but the cars behind me may not be able to. I'm also pulling you over for following too close." "Uh, what?" "I'm pulling you over for following too close, but I'm just gonna let you off with a warning, take it easy out there" Leaves without even taking any of my information. ******* knew he was following me too close, since I barely pushed the brakes and he had to swerve a little to miss hitting me when he pulled me over. Your cruiser stop as fast as an Evo? I doubt it. |

Every state has wacky laws. If you think Utah's sex laws are strange, look up some of the statutes from the deep south states.
