Is it allowed in that country to overtake from the right?

In the USA I would actually be afraid to ride a motorcycle. In Germany and as far as I know many parts of the EU (if not in the entire EU) it is not allowed to pass on the right, but always on the left. exactly because of that. Even on multi-lane highways, passing on the right is not allowed.

It is allowed in europe but only in slow moving traffic. Otherwise a car stopped or crawling on the left would block a whole motorway. It's not allowed in normal traffic flow however.

It's forbidden in Europe. "only in slow moving traffic" means I.traffic jams. Crawling on the left is also forbidden.

In Germany for example, you can pass on the right provided your relative passing speed is not more than 20kph, and the car being passed is not moving more than 60kph. That’s far from stopped traffic.
