Is It Legal To Pass A Car on the Right In Maryland?
Personal injury lawyers in Baltimore know the general rule that passing is allowed only on the left.
More than a few car and motor vehicle accidents have been caused by one vehicle trying to pass another on the right. Of course, as with anything else, there exceptions to the general rule of passing only on the left. Now, some argue that exception is a techincal word for a loophole. Certainly, the absence of a hard and fast rule gives creative attorneys the opportunity to argue how their case does, or does not, come within one of the exceptions, As attorney Eric T. Kirk will tell you,
- If the front car is turning left, and the highway is wide enough for two vehicles moving in the same direction, and not obstructed by parked cars, you can go around on the right [if you can do so safely, and without leaving the roadway.]
- On a one-way street, if it is wide enough for two vehicles moving in the same direction, one can pass on the right – if safe.

For over three decades, I have battled against the nation’s largest insurance companies, always endeavoring to ensure my clients receive the compensation they deserve. As lead counsel in thousands of cases across Maryland, New York, and Florida, I have recovered millions for clients whose claims were wrongfully denied and delayed. Whether denying fair compensation for a personal injury victim or denying benefits to a homeowner, Insurance companies employ policy exclusions, technicalities, and lowball offers to deny and defeat claims. They also hire very good lawyers to fight you in court. So should you. When an insurance company unfairly rejects a claim, I stop them.
