Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
Another driver is lawfully overtaking you on the left. What should you do until the pass is complete?
Blue A travels east in its normal right-hand lane. Silver B is temporarily using the opposing lane to pass A. The yellow center line is broken and no oncoming vehicle is shown.
Correct answer: Keep right and do not speed up until passed.
Why
Give the passing vehicle a predictable path. Move appropriately right and do not increase speed until the other vehicle is safely past. Do not retaliate or crowd it; both drivers must maintain safe clearance.
