In Illinois, the law you are breaking when you do this is one that says
you can't pass a car on the right unless you have six feet of clearance.
This is what they get you for when you are caught going down the dotted
lines.  Of course, motorcyclists who do this are hard to catch, unless
the cop is also on a motorcycle.
