I was living in MD when I started driving. It was pre-Internet, so we had a copy of the motor vehicle code in book form. In that state, there was a section that said that the only time it was legal to pass on the shoulder was when the car in front of you had signaled for a left turn. I assumed all states were the same, but I have since learned they are not.
If I'm on a country road in NC and the guy in front is stopped, signaling for a left turn into a driveway, waiting for traffic the other way to let him turn, I'm supposed to sit behind him like an idiot, and not go around him on the gravel shoulder.
