Which violation is described as an unsafe passing maneuver?

• A. Unsafe passing
• B. Turn on red not permitted
• C. Moved from lane unsafely
• D. Fail to yield at yield sign

Answer: (A)

Unsafe passing maneuver is a violation that covers passing another vehicle in a dangerous or unsafe way. In New York law, this happens when you pass where it’s not safe to do so—such as in no-passing zones, on curves or hills with limited visibility, or when there isn’t enough room to complete the pass without impeding other traffic. Since the scenario described directly matches the conduct of unsafe passing, that choice is the correct one. The other options describe different violations—turning on red where it’s not allowed, moving from a lane unsafely (unsafe lane change), and failing to yield at a yield sign—each involving distinct circumstances.
