Arkansas Driving Permit Practice Test

When overtaking and passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, you should pass only to:

1. The left of the vehicle

2. The right of the vehicle

3. Either left or right

4. None of these

The correct answer is: The left of the vehicle

When overtaking and passing another vehicle on a two-lane road, you should pass only to the left of the vehicle. This is the safest and most common practice as it allows for better visibility of oncoming traffic and decreases the likelihood of a collision. Passing on the right is generally not permitted and can be dangerous, especially if the vehicle being passed decides to change lanes or make a right turn. Passing on the right is typically reserved for situations such as when the vehicle in front is making a left turn or is authorized to use the left lane only. Passing on either side (choice C) is not recommended on a two-lane road due to safety concerns and traffic regulations.
