Passing target: 80% (32/40)
On a two-lane road, the center has a broken yellow line on your side and a solid yellow line on the side of oncoming traffic. A slow car is ahead of you. What do these lines tell you?
A follows B on a two-way road. The yellow line next to A is broken; the line next to the opposing lane is solid, and no oncoming car is visible.
Correct answer: You may pass when the oncoming lane is clear far enough ahead, since your line is broken
Why
When a solid line and a broken line run side by side, the line nearest your lane decides what you may do, and the drivers coming toward you follow the other line. A broken line never makes a pass safe by itself. Do not pass within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing, or where a hill, curve or bridge blocks your view, and wait if an oncoming vehicle is near.
