Explanation
Driving off the road to pass another vehicle is unsafe and not permitted. This action can lead to accidents or dangerous situations, as the shoulder or unpaved areas are not designed for regular vehicle travel. Even if the edge of the road seems clear, it can still be hazardous due to potential obstacles, uneven surfaces, or lack of visibility.
