Passing

Pass on the left only, only when the dashed line is on your side, no sign prohibits it and you can see far enough, and never over the speed limit. No passing near hilltops or curves, within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing, on bridges or in tunnels, or around a school bus with flashing lights. Never pass a car stopped for a pedestrian.

Return to your lane when you can see both headlights of the passed vehicle in your mirror. When being passed, hold your speed and keep right. Give bicyclists at least 3 feet, and change lanes fully when you can.

Example: a two-lane country road, a slow tractor ahead, a dashed yellow centerline, no oncoming traffic and no intersection ahead. Signal, pass on the left, and come back once you see both of its headlights.
