How slow are the cars moving along? If it's stop & go traffic at 5-10mph, I would have no problem passing on the right (traveling at 15mph). I've been doing this with my bicycle in NYC for well over 2,000 miles. At least in NYC, drivers are somewhat aware that a bicycle will prob pass thrm on the right during 5mph stop and go traffic.
It really depends on the culture. If there are tons of cyclists where you are and there is always traffic, chances are cyclists are passing on the right (between traffic and parked cars) and drivers aren't completely shocked when it happens.
So my advice to you is to make your own decision based on your surroundings.
