Double lane city streets do have the same laws as far as the overtaking lane.

Both lanes on city streets are driving lanes since cars will constantly have to be getting into left turn lanes or making left turns when there is no turn lane. Highways have a fast lane/overtake lane because you hardly ever turn left directly off of a highway.

The following rules shall govern the overtaking and passing of vehicles proceeding in the same direction on Missouri non-highway roads, city streets and byways, subject to all vehicles minus exceptions hereinafter stated:
(1) The driver of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall pass to the left thereof at a safe distance and shall again drive to the right side of the roadway once safely clear of the overtaken vehicle; and
(2) While overtaking and passing on the right is permitted, the driver of a vehicle to be overtaken shall always give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle and shall not increase the speed of such driver's vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle.
It may be inconvenient, but unless you have no other option you should not just be proceeding in the left lane, no matter where in Missouri the road is located. The people that do this are the same people who think a left turn lane is also a merge into traffic lane.

What statute are you citing?

MO Rev Stat § 304.016 (2013)
The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass to the right of another vehicle only under the following conditions:
(1) When the vehicle overtaken is making or about to make a left turn;
(2) Upon a city street with unobstructed pavement of sufficient width for two or more lines of vehicles in each direction;
Teacher I have a question. How would you be in a position in which you need to invoke the 1st or 2nd ruling of the regulations for passing on right?

I like how you're citing state law while also sharing a photo of a vehicle you own that is also breaking state law. Can't make this shit up.

realllllly looking hard for anything aren't you. I don't think my license plate is effecting anyone's life but mine. Piddlers and people fucking around in the wrong lane on their phones and being generally clueless...totally same thing. mind blown by your tenacity. maybe try making something up, it would totally hold my interest more than youre current content.

Hope so! I’ll gently slow down and get giddy at your expression!
