Explanation
White lines separate lanes of traffic moving in the same direction and are typically used on multi-lane highways. When you find yourself driving next to a dashed white line, you may pass the vehicle in front of you if the lane on your left is clear. You may also cross a dashed white line to change lanes, as long as you don't cut off a vehicle in the lane next to you.
