Definitely illegal in Belgium, is that not the norm elsewhere?
Apparently, and perhaps not surprisingly, the US allows it on highways. Which helps explain why their traffic related deaths rate per capita is almost twice the European average.
Not just on highways. It happens sometimes on surface streets as well.
I've never seen anyone do it so I'm pretty sure it's illegal in all countries were I've found myself on a highway. The US and Germany (due to their free speed generally quite weird autobahns) come to mind as countries that might allow it.
It's illegal in Germany as well.
