Re[2]: Yo, everyone, who are those Colorado drivers?

     Although I have never heard of someone getting a ticket for passing on 
     the right, I know of someone getting a ticket for not moving out of 
     the left lane while doing less than the traffic flow was doing, thus 
     causing a backup in the left lane.  It's not what you are looking for, 
     but it is surely a form of lane discipline law in that you are legally 
     supposed to move out of the left lane if you are not moving with the 
     fastest flow of traffic.

this is not a lane discipline law, but rather a speed law.
the CHP could have given the same ticket for slow speed in the right lane. 
if it were a lane discipline law, you could get a ticket for going 65 in the 
left lane.  and another ticket for passing on the right at 65..
