Who is the safer driver state

CT has a law that allows passing on the right? Wow, I never knew. Thanks VtSteve. If you have a link to the CT.Gov site I'de love to see it. I will say that if the vehicle in the left lane is going under the speed limit they sometimes do move over, but rarely if ever if they are at the SL.

Take the Quiz! I found it online. (80% is not something I'm too proud of, but it's a passing grade!)

The questions were tricky on a few!

When I first started taking the quiz, I was like this is crazy. If you don't know these answers you should not be driving. But then as I got closer to the end, I really had to think.

I also got an 80%. I am also not proud of the grade...but I did pass. I almost called my daughter over for help (she just finished driver's ed!)

When I got my license quite a few years back, I was not a very good student. I hated hated hated studying. Never studied. I was lucky to make it out of HS alive. Anyway, when I turned 16 I got my Learner's Permit, and with that the little blue book. The one with all the rules. I studied that thing inside and out. By the time I turned 16 1/2 and was eligible to get my license, I knew the questions and answers literally word for word. During the oral exam, the guy would ask the questions, and of I course I would recite the answers, word for word. He was impressed. Then he asked me if I knew what the questions/answers actually meant. Fortunately, I did.

I got 100% on the test.

In many states that is illegal in itself to intentionally block the left lane. If you are not passing, in many states, it's the law to move over. How many times have people seen the highway signs KEEP RIGHT UNLESS PASSING?

Here's a common sense guide, as well as a legal guide state by state
