Amen.  And that's the law in some states, Massachusetts, for
example.  MAGL 89-4B, if I recall.  The particular statute can 
also be used as a defense if pulled over for "passing on the 
right" by an unknowing officer since it mandates that you must 
drive in the rightmost lane possible and lists no exception for
when passing other vehicles.
