(In appropriate jurisdictions, replace "right" with "left".)

There are various and sundry laws in different jurisdictions about
passing another vehicle on the right.

What the law says doesn't matter. What matters is that

WHEN YOU PASS A VEHICLE ON ITS RIGHT
YOU ARE BETTING YOUR LIFE THAT IT WON'T TURN RIGHT.

You don't want to make that bet unless you are sure that you will win.


Essentially you are talking about "Self Preservation:, described by
Google as "Self-preservation is a behavior that ensures the survival
of an organism. It is almost universal among living organisms.

The description goes on to say, The desire for self-preservation has
led to countless laws and regulations surrounding a culture of safety
in Western society.[10] Seat belt laws, speed limits, texting
regulations, and the "stranger danger" campaign should all be familiar
examples of societal guides and regulations to enhance survival, and
these laws are heavily supported due to the animal need we possess for
self-preservation.

" Self-preservation is also thought by some to be the basis of
rational and logical thought and behavior".
