Explanation
You may pass another vehicle only when it is safe and legal to do so. This means you must have a clear view of the road ahead and enough space to complete the pass without interfering with oncoming traffic. Do not attempt to pass when you're near curves, hills, intersections, or in designated No Passing Zones-these areas often limit visibility and increase the risk of collisions.
Even if the vehicle you're trying to pass is moving slowly, you must wait until it’s safe and the road markings allow for passing.
