Turns, lanes and passingQuestion 142 of 296

A road has a double solid centre line. What is the usual rule for a driver who wants to pass?

  1. Cross it, if the oncoming lane is clear
  2. Cross it, if you drive faster than the other vehicle
  3. Cross it, if you use your signal
  4. Do not cross the line to pass another vehicle
Show answer

Correct answer: Do not cross the line to pass another vehicle

A driver must not cross a double solid centre line to pass. The law has two exceptions: a bicycle, and a slow vehicle that drives at the right edge or has pulled over.
