Explanation
Passing on the right is generally illegal and can be dangerous because it puts your vehicle in the other driver’s blind spot. However, North Carolina law allows passing on the right in specific situations, such as:
- When the vehicle ahead is making a left turn.
- When driving in a lane designated for right turns.
- On roads with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction.
- On one-way streets with two or more lanes.
Always use caution and ensure it is safe before attempting to pass, even when it is legally allowed.
