Give the holy right to the fast lane hog?

In Georgia, there is a clause that you can pass on
the right(outside) lanes "when condition permit".

Personally, I like Germany solution better. They
don't allow pass on the outside lane and they
TEACH their drivers to repect other that they
WILL move over for the faster traffic.

Guess that Germany do NOT have the scenario
drivers using shotgun in fast lane/pssing dispute
like what is happening in US of A.
