Explanation
When traveling on two-lane roads with traffic moving in both directions, you should pass other vehicles on the left only if signs or lane markings indicate that passing is allowed. Passing on the right is permitted only on roads with two or more lanes moving in the same direction or when the vehicle ahead is making a left turn. Use extreme caution when passing on the right, as it can be especially dangerous if the other driver does not see you and attempts to change lanes.
