If there is a solid yellow line on your side and there is only one lane of traffic in your direction, you should...

• A. Pass cautiously
• B. Not pass
• C. Speed up to pass
• D. Turn around

Answer: (B)

A solid yellow line on your side means you may not pass the vehicle ahead. With only one lane in your direction, there isn’t a safe, legal way to move into the opposite lane to pass, and attempting to do so could cause a head-on collision with oncoming traffic. Stay in your lane, slow to the flow, and wait until you reach a stretch where the line becomes dashed (a legal passing zone) and it’s safe to pass. This line is there to prevent passing in places where visibility or road conditions make it dangerous.
