Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
On a two-lane highway, the driver behind you pulls out to pass. What does South Dakota law require you to do?
Silver B has moved into the opposing lane to pass blue A on a two-lane highway. A is centered in its original right-hand lane, with no halo, shoulder movement or speed annotation.
Correct answer: Keep right in your lane, and do not speed up until the car has passed.
Why
A steady speed lets the other driver judge the pass and return to the lane safely. The longer a passing car stays beside you, the longer both of you are in danger. If another driver starts an unsafe pass, let them return to the lane safely.
