You may pass another car if:

• A. You are next to the solid yellow lines
• B. You are next to the broken yellow lines
• C. You are next to the dashed yellow lines
• D. You are behind a school bus

Answer: (B)

Passing is allowed when the center line is broken or dashed, signaling that you may cross into the opposite lane to pass if the road ahead is clear. A solid yellow line on your side means you must not pass. A school bus with red lights flashing requires you to stop and cannot be passed while it’s stopped. So being next to broken yellow lines indicates you’re in the legal scenario to pass, provided there’s no oncoming traffic and you have enough space to complete the maneuver safely. Always signal, check for a clear gap, pass quickly, and return to your lane before your line becomes solid again.
