When you want to pass a vehicle traveling in the same direction, what side should you pass?

  1. Right

  2. Left

  3. Straight

  4. Back

The correct answer is: Left

When you want to pass a vehicle traveling in the same direction, you should pass on the left side. This is the standard practice in most countries, including the United States. Passing on the left allows for better visibility of oncoming traffic and helps to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle you are passing. Passing on the right is usually only allowed in specific circumstances, such as when the vehicle ahead is making a left turn or is moving to the right to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Passing straight or passing from the back are not safe or legal ways to overtake another vehicle traveling in the same direction.
