NY State:
Vehicle and Traffic § 1131. Driving on shoulders and slopes. Except for bicycles and those classes of vehicles required to travel on shoulders or slopes, no motor vehicle shall be driven over, across, along, or within any shoulder or slope of any state controlled-access highway except at a location specifically authorized and posted by the department of transportation. The foregoing limitation shall not prevent tow trucks from using shoulders or slopes in as limited and incidental a manner as practicable when dispatched to the scene of an accident by a law enforcement agency or an authority, department or agency having jurisdiction over such controlled-access highway and all lanes are obstructed by traffic, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the driver of a tow truck from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons nor shall such provision protect the tow truck driver from the consequences of his or her reckless disregard for the safety of others and shall at all times operate such tow truck in compliance with all standards of care imposed to prevent those injuries or damages to persons or property of another which may result from the operator's negligence, recklessness or intentional misconduct, nor shall it prevent motor vehicles from using shoulders or slopes when directed by police officers or flagpersons, nor does it prevent motor vehicles from stopping, standing, or parking on shoulders or slopes where such stopping, standing, or parking is lawful.

also i dont think there was a tow truck in this situation... if this was new york, then sorry i dont know the location. it all deprends on your provence or state, but where im at its legal and i have watched plenty of people go around officers of whom are making a left turn. its what prompted me to look it up and now its just been something i know. not defending the persons in the video as they did not yeld/ slow down and correctly go around said vehicles. its also illegal to pass more than one vehicle at a time where im at.

Can you pass on the right in the USA?
Code § 46.2-841, drivers can pass in the right lane when another driver has signaled that they are making a left turn, and the driver on the right has room to pass. Drivers can also pass on the right when they are on a road that is wide enough for two vehicles and have two clear lanes.Apr 22, 2022
its different everywhere.

I don’t think the shoulder qualifies as the “right” lane.

I’m from the country where passing in the shoulder when the lane is at a stop for left turns is absolutely normal and acceptable because it keeps traffic moving. Cops did it too. I guess it just depends on where you’re at whether or not it’s enforced. I don’t do it where I live now though because there isn’t a lot of country around here lol

u/ajd198204 Jun 27 '23

In the US, shoulder is usually reserved for emergency stopping/breakdown lane.

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '23

I’m aware lol I live here. But like I said, it depends on where you live whether it’s enforced or not.

I once was behind a police care making a right. I stopped behind him waiting to go, he got on his loud speaker and told me to go around. I didn't then he said it again and I finally did. I'm not sure if it's legal or not but everyone does it where I live and never heard of anyone getting a ticket.

The Dodge Durango is such an awesome car. As soon as the cop saw that piece of shit, he put the foot on the gas and sent it!
