Omg that's funny
At least here in Ohio, it's illegal to pass on a double line
It's illegal to pass more than one vehicle at a time. (If there are 20 of them, you might just as well pull over and wait, or pick a different direction)
It's illegal to pass a vehicle without signaling, either with a flashing headlight or horn beep that you are passing
It is also illegal to move over more than one lane at a time..as you see people getting on a freeway and then moving all the way across to the high speed lane in one fell swoop. Legally you have to take command of each lane and then signal and move to the next lane etc. until you get to the high speed lane
In most states it is illegal to run in the high speed lane without passing someone. It's posted in Kentucky (keep right except to pass) but not much in Ohio although it is still the law.
And one I learned the other day by asking a local leo.. The speed limit in an unmarked residential area is 45 mph ( there is a little town I ride thru regularly that has such a zone, but they wont post it so they can write up people going through there that don't know the law. ( I didn't so I saw an leo sitting there running radar and pulled over and asked him) I'm still trying to figure out how many residences it takes to be considered residential, because otherwise the speed limit is 55, but in a local town looking for revenue, that 10 mph can spell the difference between being pulled over or not.
Loud pipes and high bars are also illegal but they don't seem to get much attention around here.
