you can legally pass a car in the center lane on the left or the right. Here are a couple things to consider as you decide:
[emoji830] where a driver expects to be passed,
[emoji830] increased risk with each lane change.
As drivers, we expect faster traffic to pass us on the left, so if you were directly behind the car, I’d recommend passing on the left. However, if you’re in the right lane, passing on the left would require two lane changes to pass, and two more lane changes to get back to the right lane. Each lane change is an additional opportunity for two cars to try to occupy the same space. Rather than tell you what to do, I’ll recommend choosing the route that you think will be safest given the circumstances as you plan to pass.

So if all vehicles are traveling at the posted maximum legal limit then you shouldn’t need to pass at all. In that case you follow behind the vehicle in front of you at a safe distance.
