To pass a vehicle waiting to turn left.

Explanation
You must never drive off the paved roadway to pass another vehicle. If you are behind a vehicle that is waiting to make a left turn, you may pass it on the right only if there is enough space within your lane to do so safely. If there isn't enough room, do not drive onto the shoulder-wait until the vehicle completes its turn. Passing on the shoulder is illegal, whether the shoulder is paved or not. Other drivers do not expect vehicles to be there and may pull off without checking. Shoulders are also commonly used by pedestrians, bicyclists, and emergency vehicles, making it dangerous and unpredictable for passing.
