passing on the right on a 2 lane street

What is the name of your state? MA
Any opinions of this matter? It doesn't seem safe or legal.
I thougt passing should take place on the left with
the solid and seperated lines dictating wether one could
do so.

It probably isn't legal. Generally most states do not allow driving to the right of the white line. There are some circumstances that it would probably be overlooked. I have seen it done by county and state ppolice in my area.

Would there be a specific reason as to you asking?
