Passing Score
1. When riding in a vehicle, small children:
Explanation
Special child seats are available for children who are too small to wear regular safety belts. No person is strong enough to safely hold onto a child of any size during an accident or sudden stop. Never allow a child to ride in a vehicle unless they are properly fastened into a seat.
2. You may pass another vehicle:
Explanation
You may not pass another vehicle on a hill or in a curve because you cannot see oncoming traffic and may cause a collision. Never pass another vehicle by driving onto the shoulder of a highway. Passing another vehicle by driving over a solid yellow line is prohibited.
3. A solid yellow line on your side of the centerline means:
Explanation
A solid yellow line next to your lane means that passing is not permitted from your direction.
4. This road sign means:

Explanation
This sign indicates that the overpass ahead has a low clearance. You should not proceed if your vehicle is taller than the height shown on the sign (in this case, 13 feet 6 inches).
5. An arrow painted on the pavement means:
Explanation
An arrow painted on the pavement within a traffic lane indicates that drivers in the lane must make the movement indicated by the arrow. Drivers should follow directions given by any traffic signs or signals before proceeding in the direction indicated by the arrow.
6. Drivers may pass on a two-lane roadway marked with a single solid yellow line on their side of the centerline.
Explanation
When there is a solid and a broken yellow line separating two lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions, a driver may pass only when the broken yellow line is nearest to the driver’s lane.
7. A good rule to remember for passing is:
Explanation
Each time you pass another vehicle, there is an increased chance for a collision. If you are moving faster than surrounding traffic, you will have to continue passing others. Drive with the flow of traffic, within the legal speed limit, and pass only as needed.
8. Two solid yellow lines on the pavement mean:
Explanation
Yellow lines tell you that the traffic on the other side of the lines is moving in the opposite direction. You should never cross two solid yellow lines to pass from either direction.
