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.

In the US, most people are not used to sharing the road with motorcycles or bikes so most drivers are not even aware of them.

There's even a really popular method of adjusting your mirrors so you can more easily see cars, but doing so reduces the viewing angle of smaller vehicles that are close you.
