When may you pass another vehicle?

When the other vehicle has their left turn signal on
When the center line is broken
When the other vehicle is going slower than the speed limit
When the right lane is open

The correct answer is: When the center line is broken

When driving, passing another vehicle is only allowed when it is safe to do so. This means that the other options are incorrect because they do not guarantee the safety of the maneuver. A vehicle having its left turn signal on does not necessarily mean it is safe to pass, as they may suddenly change lanes. Passing in the right lane may also be dangerous as drivers tend to merge into the right lane while turning. When the center line is broken, it indicates that it is safe to pass as there is enough visibility and space to do so. Thus, the correct answer is B.
