Under what circumstance is a driver allowed to pass another vehicle on the right?

• A. On a one-lane road
• B. Only when the road has more than one lane in the same direction and the other vehicle is signaling a left turn
• C. When you're in a hurry
• D. When the vehicle in front is moving slowly

Answer: (B)

Passing on the right is allowed only in limited, safe situations. You may do it when the road has more than one lane in the same direction and the vehicle ahead is signaling a left turn, which creates space in the right-side lane for you to pass without interfering with the left-turning vehicle. On a one-lane road there isn’t a legal way to pass on the right, and simply being in a hurry or the front vehicle going slowly doesn’t make it legal. The specific circumstance—a multi-lane road plus a left-turn signal from the vehicle in front—ensures you can pass safely on the right without conflicting with a left-turning vehicle.
