Official Code of Georgia:


O.C.G.A. 40-6-43 (2010)
40-6-43. When overtaking and passing on the right permitted


(a) The driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass upon the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:

(1) When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn; or

(2) Upon a street or highway with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lanes of moving vehicles in the direction being traveled by the overtaking vehicle.

(b) If otherwise authorized, the driver of a vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. Such movement shall not be made by driving off the roadway.


Most states follow this same Code. Nothing wrong with passing on the right on an interstate. Drive your own rig within your own risk levels. Pass whoever you wish, wherever you wish and don't look back. You can't fix stupid but stupid can cost you your life if you let it get to you. If someone is impeding traffic I will get around them as quickly and safely as I can and move on, regardless of who thinks what. I normally drive 65 in the coach. Often I will adjust up or down a MPH or two if it allows me to stay constant and not jump around in the lanes...as in following a big rig or in heavier traffic. Seems too many people get frustrated by the way others drive...this is your first tire in the ditch. Who really cares???
