I frequently move into the left lane on the freeway when passing a vehicle on the shoulder, but not always.
But after reading this post by a reader of the South Bend Tribune, I think I will always move over in the future. He moved over to the left lane to make room for a semi on the shoulder:
His post gets preachy after that. But I get the point.
You just never know.

"Just about the time I was passing, the driver exited his cab. He apparently hooked his foot on a step and fell backward right into the right lane of traffic. I did look back to see him immediately get up ... If I had not moved to the left lane, there is no question I would have struck and killed him."
