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.

Never pass a vehicle from the rear on a two lane highway?
I do not understand your question. If you are not behind another vehicle, under what conditions would you want to pass? I have passed many vehicles when I have been driving on a two lane highway. First: You should not cross a solid line unless there is a dashed line on your side of the solid line. Second: There should not be another car coming in your direction. Third: Your vision of the road ahead should be clear so that it is safe to pass. Fourth: The other car should be going slow enough so that you have a reason to pass.
Should a US driver pass out of his right lane into the left hand lane if there are two solid yellow lines are painted on pavement?
Double yellow continuous lines means stay in your lane, which is the right hand lane on a 2-lane road in the United States. You are not permitted to cross double yellow continuous lines. In some jurisdictions, the police will ticket you if your tire even comes close to or touches the double yellow lines because you are encroaching on the opposite lane's space.
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.
Select a travel lane with the least amount of congestion and stay in the lane you have chosen until you need to turn?
pass another vehicle.
What is traffic lane?
This is highly dependent on what kind of roadway you are on, and where you are driving. On two-lane highways in the US, the oncoming traffic lane is used for passing. Most states allow this type of passing outside of urban areas where it is not specifically prohibited. On three-lane highways in the US (not common anymore), the center lane is used for passing but is subject to restrictions (yield to uphill traffic, etc.). On four lane highways which are not freeways, most states allow passing only in the left lane in your direction. On freeways with a center divider and multiple lanes in your direction, most states recommend passing in the left lane but permit it in any lane. Some states do not allow passing on the right. A center lane which is a two-way left turn lane may never be used for passing in nearly all states. A shoulder lane may be used to pass a stopped vehicle when it is safe to do so in most states. There are lots of exceptions to the Uniform Vehicle Code.
When driving on the highway you should always drive in the right lane pass on the left and move back to the right lane when clear?
Yes, when driving on the highway you should always drive in the right lane pass on the left and move back to the right lane when clear. However, on some highways there are more than 3, 4, 5, 6 lanes in both directions. So it depends on what highway and how the lanes are marked.
What does a solid yellow line on the right of the center line on the highway mean?
It means that your lane cannot pass.
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.
What does a double solid line to the right of the center line of the highway mean?
That you cannot pull into that side of the lane and pass another car on either side of the lane. The Solid line means you cannot pass.
If a truck is making a left turn from a one lane highway is it OK to pass him on the right?
Yes, but NOT if it requires you to drive on the shoulder to do so.
Are you allowed to pass school buses in ill on two lane highway?
yes
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.
What three countries does the US highway pass through?

What should you do if you are being tailgate?
It depends on the situation. If you are in the left lane of a multi lane highway then you should move to the right lane and let the faster vehicles pass safely. If you are in the right lane on a two lane road then you should slow down enough so as to allow the tailgating vehicle to safely pass you on the left. Never make any gestures or actions that display your possible aggrivation with the other driver. This is road rage and will only escallate the situation. Let them pass. If they want to be first on scene at their own accident then let them and don't join them.

Which lane is not to be used to pass or overtake another vehicle?
(in the US) On multi-lane roadways - The far right lane
When you turn right onto a multi lane road which lane do you turn in to?
When you are in the far right lane, your turn should put you in the far right lane. Then, when safe, you can merge into the left lane to pass. This is for a right turn from a 2 or 4 lane onto a 2-or higher lane road.
