When may you pass another vehicle on a two-lane road?

• A. Whenever you want to pass, regardless of line.
• B. When the line on your side is broken and it is safe to pass without interfering with oncoming traffic.
• C. Only when there is continuous line on your side.
• D. Only if the car ahead is going slower.

Answer: (B)

Passing on a two-lane road is allowed only in designated passing zones where the line on your side is broken. In that zone you may pass if you have a clear view of oncoming traffic and you can complete the maneuver without forcing or interfering with vehicles coming toward you. After passing, you must return to your lane before the road narrows again or before you reach a solid line. So, a broken line indicates a permitted passing area, but only when it’s safe to do so; a solid line means no passing.
