Question 6106

In this situation, is the passenger car's passing of the motorcycle correct?

  1. No, because it moves completely into the oncoming lane.
  2. Yes, because there is no posted sign prohibiting it.
  3. Yes, because it leaves adequate separation and is passing a two-wheeled vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it moves completely into the oncoming lane.

No. The centerline is solid, and the blue passenger car has crossed it to pass the motorcycle, which is prohibited. The exception allowing you to enter the oncoming lane where passing is prohibited applies to bicycles, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles, pedestrians, animals, carts, and special agricultural vehicles, but not motorcycles. The absence of a posted sign or leaving plenty of clearance does not change this. You could only pass a motorcycle while staying on your side and without touching the line.
