Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
A stationary obstruction blocks your side of a two-way road. You would need to move left of center, but an oncoming car is close enough to be a hazard. What must you do?
Correct answer: Yield to the oncoming car, then go around when safe.
Why
When an obstruction makes it necessary to drive left of center, yield to traffic traveling properly on the unobstructed half if it is close enough to be an immediate hazard. Move around only when the whole maneuver is safe, and return to your side. This is an obstruction exception, not general permission to overtake in a no-passing zone.
