Do not pass:
- On a hill or curve.
- When school bus lights are flashing.
- When approaching an intersection.
- All of the above. ✓
Answer: D. All of the above.
Do not pass in any of these situations: on a hill or curve, when a school bus is flashing its lights, or when you are approaching an intersection.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists places where you must stay off the left side of the road for passing. That list includes hills, curves, and other spots where you cannot see far ahead, and it also covers being within 100 feet of or crossing an intersection. Separately, when a school bus is showing alternately flashing red lights, you must stop and not pass until the bus moves, the driver signals you, or the lights stop. Since each situation in the choices is a place where passing is barred, they all apply.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. On a hill or curve. — A hill or curve is only one of the listed no-passing places, since limited vision there is just part of the rule the handbook gives.
- B. When school bus lights are flashing. — Flashing red school bus lights are only one of the restrictions, because the handbook also bars passing near intersections and where you cannot see ahead.
- C. When approaching an intersection. — Approaching an intersection is only one piece of the rule, and it leaves out the hill, curve, and stopped school bus situations that also prohibit passing.
Remember it
Think of the three things that hide danger from you or hide you from others: a blind hill or curve, a stopped school bus, and an intersection ahead. Any one of them means stay in your lane.
