Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
Another vehicle is lawfully overtaking you on the left. What should you do until it has passed?
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: Give way to the right and do not increase speed
Why
Give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle and do not increase speed until it has completely passed. Keep a safe, predictable course. The passing driver still must meet the separate sight-distance and clearance requirements.
