Lane changes, passing and streetcarsStandalone practice
May you pass another vehicle by driving on the left shoulder?
Blue A follows silver B in the left travel lane of a divided freeway. A continuous yellow line separates the left paved shoulder from the travel lane. A second travel lane lies to the right.
Correct answer: No, not even if it is paved
Why
The handbook permits use of the right paved shoulder only to pass a vehicle turning left. It does not permit passing on the left shoulder.
