Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
You follow a slow car on a two-lane road with a broken yellow center line. The right shoulder is wide and paved. How may you pass?
A follows slower car B on a two-lane road with a broken yellow center line. A broad paved shoulder lies beyond the right edge line.
Correct answer: On the left, if you can get back before an oncoming vehicle is within 200 feet.
Why
Most passing in New York is done on the left, and only when it is necessary and safe. You may not go over the speed limit to pass. Before you pull out, make sure that you can see far enough ahead to finish; if an oncoming vehicle could come within 200 feet before you are back, stay behind.
