Practice question

When should you NOT pass another vehicle?

  1. When approaching a hill or curve
  2. Within a crosswalk
  3. On the shoulder of a highway
  4. When you have a steady yellow light

Answer: D — When you have a steady yellow light

Steady yellow lights are a warning that the traffic signal is about to change to red. Passing a vehicle during this time can be dangerous as it increases the risk of a collision at the intersection. Additionally, it is important to follow traffic signals and not pass another vehicle in areas where it is not allowed, such as within a crosswalk or on the shoulder of a highway. Passing a vehicle on a hill or curve may also be unsafe due to limited visibility. Using caution and following traffic laws is important to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.
