It is impossible to avoid being passed on the right.  How would you
avoid it?  By cutting in in front of the motorist diagonally to the
rear right of you, whom you were passing but who suddenly speeds up,
because his lane opens up while yours is still clogged?  I see this
happen all the time.  Especially in stop-and-go traffic, I often see
one lane stopped for a while while an adjacent lane is going at a good
25 mph or so.
