It's illegal to go around someone who is going too slow?  What country is that? I think I'll stay away.

Passing on the right side is very dangerous and rightfully not allowed. While we have relatively few accidents at higher speed, this is among the causes for the most serious ones. Passing him correctly on his left side is impossible as long as he hogs up the leftmost lane.

Only when the driver does not pay attention. It's no less safe than passing on either side.

And you do think that those who are sound asleep on the left lane are especially attentive?

My point was, passing on either side is just as dangerous. You said that passing on the right was more dangerous than passing on the left. Why would that be? It could only be true if people who were moving over to the right were less attentive than when they moved to the left.

The physical rationale behind forbidding passing on the right is that the mirror on the right-hand side of the car is farther from the driver. This means (assuming that the mirrors on each side are symmetrical) that the field of view on the right is more limited.
The wider the vehicle, the larger the distance to the right-hand mirror, so attempting to overtake a truck or bus on the right can be especially dangerous.

There are those who believe that they can change lanes anytime, without signaling or spending any thought on the consequences. Made such an aquaintance a few weeks ago. Ben Hur was on his way home, don't dare to be in his way.
And the dreamers? I guess that pulling over and/or hitting the brakes is their knee jerk reaction to anything that wakes them up from their slumber.

It's illegal in many countries to overtake on the right (if they drive on the right), or on the left (if they drive on the left). This is true even if the car in the leftmost (rightmost) lane is crawling along.
The slow driver, OTOH, is typically liable for obstructing traffic, not keeping to the right (left), and being an a***hole.

From the wrong side it is a nasty infraction, usually on highways it's "allowed" though because you *can* change lane and there is no rule that states that rightmost lanes have to be faster than left ones... therefore you are not overtaking, you are changing lane and going faster than the rightmost lane.
If the driver on the rightmost lane is an incompetent idiot and changes lane without looking and without signalling he/she can cause a nasty accident, but that's true also if noone is overtaking from the left.
Outside highways though it is reason for extremely painful sanctions, at least in Italy.

Not only that!
“The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans. On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. It’s speaking English that kills you.”
