Inattentive driving

Excessive speed under the driving conditions

Before changing lanes, you should activate your turn signal in the appropriate direction and check your rearview and side mirrors.

Change lanes when you are sure it is safe to do so.

It is also legal to pass on the right when driving on a multilane road with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction. You may never drive off the pavement or main-traveled portion of the road to pass another vehicle.
