Which statement about passing on roads with lines is true?

• A. You may pass when it is safe if there is a dashed line in your direction.
• B. You may pass regardless of line markings.
• C. You may never pass on a dashed line.
• D. You should always pass on the right.

Answer: (A)

Passing rules hinge on road markings. A dashed line in your lane means you’re in a legitimate passing zone, provided the roadway ahead is clear and you can pass safely without cutting into oncoming traffic or causing a hazard. You must not pass when the line in your direction is solid, and a double solid line signals you may never pass. The idea that you can pass regardless of markings isn’t correct, and passing on the right isn’t the standard or universally legal approach—passing typically happens on the left in right‑driving countries and only when the left lane is designated for passing. So the true statement is that you may pass when it’s safe and there’s a dashed line in your direction.
