Concerning California law:
Ideally you would pass/overtake a car using the left lane. If that isn't feasible you may pass to the right as long as its safe and you don't go off road. Needless to say, double yellow lines would prevent you from passing.

What are some situations when you should not pass?
You should not pass on a double yellow line, in a no passing zone, on a hill that has no passing lane, on a curve, if there is oncoming traffic that is too close, and if the car behind you is already starting to pass you.
If you see double solid lines on two-lane roadways you should know that?
You cannot pass the vehicle in front of you, and those in the opposite lane may not pass either.
Do I allow a tailgater to pass?
Yes or if you are in fast lane you should move right since you are not traveling fast enough for lane you are in
You should never pass in the oncoming lane in which circumstances?
When it is Dangerous to you and oncoming traffic.
When passing on a two lane road should you pass on the right if the shoulder is clear?
no
Can you pass on the right when on a three lane highway?
You can, but you shouldn't. Passing on the right is dangerous, and should be avoided, as it causes problems with cars merging into what should be a slower lane, while you are going faster than the normal traffic in that lane. If you wish to pass a car that is in the center lane, go on their left. If the car in the left lane is going slow, wait for them to merge to the right.

Why do some people who drive a car stay in the left lane?
The left lane is supposed to be the fast lane. If you want to drive faster, then use the left lane. Traditionally it is ment to be the passing lane. If you want to pass someone driving slowly in the right lane, then pass them using the left lane, and get back over to the right lane until you need to pass someone else. However, you should not sit in the left lane driving slowly. It is ment to be a passing lane and if you sit out in the left lane, it will make others unhappy! I hope this helped!
How many cars is it legal to pass?
1, then you should get back over into your own lane.
What is turn out lane?
On narrow roads, a turn out lane creates an area where slower traffic can pull over to allow other vehicles to pass. They are used where the nature of the road precludes safely passing in the opposite lane. You should use the turnout lane when other traffic wants to pass you.
When traveling at a safe speed on a freeway which lane can be selected to allow others to switch lanes?
Drivers intending to stay on the highway/freeway should stay in the right lane or the lane designated as a through-lane. The only times you should move left is to allow vehicles to merge from a right side on ramp (and move back to the right lane as soon as you can), or to pass slower traffic already in the right lane (then move back to the right lane when it is safe to do so). If a freeway provides a "slower" lane and you drive slower than the maximum speed allowed, you should use the slower lane. But never hog the passing lane just to keep driving in it; move over and let faster traffic pass you.
