Explanation
You should never use the shoulder of the road - paved or unpaved - to pass another vehicle. Other drivers do not expect traffic on the shoulder and may pull over without warning. If the vehicle in front of you is waiting to make a left turn, you may pass on the right only if there is enough room within your lane to do so safely. If there isn’t enough space, do not drive onto the shoulder; instead, stop and wait for the vehicle to complete its turn.
