According to Florida statutes (317.083-.085), you are allowed to pass on the right so long as you stay on the pavement. So, it can legally be done. However, I agree with justjim. It is dangerous.
The other day, I was driving down Morse with quite a bit of vehicular traffic. A car gave little warning, stopped and turned on signal to turn left. The car behind the left-turning vehicle gave no warning whatsoever (did have time to stop), turned into the multi-modal lane to pass the left-turning vehicle. Had I been paying a little less attention, I would have become one of those golf-cart-injury statistics. I don't see how the driver could not have seen me in the golf cart lane -- I was slightly ahead of it for a bit before this incident. I had to move onto the grass rather quickly. Fortunately, my cart did not tip, I did not fall out of the cart, I did not get hit by the car.
So, if you feel you absolutely, positively have to pass on the right, please be very careful. Those of us sharing "your" road would truly appreciate it.
