For example, most of us here in the states hate slow drivers in the fast (left) lane, in Germany, if you are in the left lane and you see a car approaching you many blocks back of you, you need you pull over. It would be so nice for every car, bike, golf cart driver/rider to adhere to this. Another law is if you have 5 (maybe it’s 7) or more vehicles behind you trying to get around you, you need to pull over and let them pass. How many times have we been the 10th car or golf cart behind a slow bike or car and they never pull over.
Back to car laws, you are not allowed to pass on the right. Which is common sense because the slow drivers should always be on the right. Another common sense law, no flashing of brights toward the car in front of you, because there should not be a slower driver in front of you.
Also, it is legal to go faster than the speed limit to pass someone, some states 15 or more mph faster.
IMO, slower drivers can cause more accidents than faster drivers
It is not illegal to pass on the right in Florida:
