    I’m so confused here.

    The right lanes are the slow lanes - we overtake/pass on the left, and you are advised to stay out of the left lane unless you are passing. This makes sense because you need to slow down to exit the freeway, or in case of emergency, you are closer to the side of the road to be able to do so.

    How else are you supposed to deal with 4-way stops? In my state it’s first arrival goes first, however if two cars arrive at the same time the car on the right proceeds first. It’s not that complicated, and I’m not sure what’s wrong with it?

    And I’m not at all sure what you’re referring to regarding coming from the right? Coming from the right in relation to where?

      In the US I believed it’s legal to pass people from the right if they are driving to your left. That’s illegal here, you can only pass from the left.

      It’s also illegal to hog a lane, you must always use the right most lane when it’s free, unless you’re passing.
