Overtaking should not be attempted when a solid line is on your side of the center line. Which option correctly states this rule?

• A. Do not overtake when a solid line is on your side of center line.
• B. Overtake when a solid line is on your side.
• C. Always overtake if you are in a hurry.
• D. Overtaking is permitted on solid lines.

Answer: (A)

On two-way roads, a solid line on your side of the center line means you must not pass. That solid line acts as a no-passing signal, so you should stay in your lane and wait until the line becomes dashed or you reach a safe, designated passing zone. This statement directly captures that rule, making it the correct choice. Claims that you may overtake despite the solid line or that you should hurry to pass are unsafe and illegal.
