Answer:
Louisiana does not have any law directly on point. However, overtaking law, “RS 32:73. Passing a vehicle on the left.”, states that “except when overtaking and passing on the right is permitted, 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 not again drive to the right side of the roadway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle.”
