On a road with a solid yellow center line, you may overtake if the vehicle ahead is turning left.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for buses
• D. Only with police consent

Answer: (B)

A solid yellow center line means no passing. It signals a no-passing zone for traffic in that direction, because attempting to overtake could push you into oncoming traffic or through restricted or limited visibility areas. Even if the vehicle ahead is turning left, you don’t have a safe opportunity to pass while that line remains solid. Wait until you reach a stretch with a dashed center line or a designated passing zone where passing is allowed and safe.
