Shoulders And MergingStandalone practice
May a driver use the shoulder to pass another vehicle?
A follows B in the left travel lane. A paved shoulder lies beyond the continuous yellow edge line.
Correct answer: No
Why
Stay in the travel lanes. Do not use a highway’s emergency stopping lane to pass, or move into it to help someone pass you. Wait for a lawful and safe passing opportunity.
