Can u get a ticket for passing on the right when ur not on the freeway in california???
Answer:
Yes and no.
You are allowed to pass on the right under CERTAIN conditions as cut/paste below from CVC = California Vehicle Code
Passing on the shoulder will get you cited under CVC 21755 though the wording is somewhat vague, the shoulder is not specifically part of the "main-traveled portion of the roadway"
------------------------------...
CVC 21754. The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the RIGHT of another vehicle only under the following conditions:
(a) When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn.
(b) Upon a highway within a business or residence district with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lines of moving vehicles in the direction of travel.
(c) Upon any highway outside of a business or residence district with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width and clearly marked for two or more lines of moving traffic in the direction of travel.
(d) Upon a one-way street.
(e) Upon a highway divided into two roadways where traffic is restricted to one direction upon each of such roadways.
The provisions of this section shall not relieve the driver of a slow moving vehicle from the duty to drive as closely as practicable to the right hand edge of the roadway.
CVC 21755. The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. In no event shall such movement be made by driving off the paved or main-traveled portion of the roadway.
