Whenever signs or road markings permit you to pass, you will have to judge whether you have enough room to pass safely. If you do, follow the 5 steps for changing lanes. When changing lanes, you should: Turn your signal on. Check your mirrors. Check your blind spot. (Look over your shoulder.) If it is safe, you may change lanes. Turn off your signal after completing the lane change. Return to the driving lane when you can see both headlights of the other vehicle in your inside rear view mirror, using the 5 steps for changing lanes again. Do not count on having enough time to pass several cars at once. To be safe, as a general rule, only pass one vehicle at a time. Do not pass... If you cannot safely return to the right-hand side before coming within 200 feet of an oncoming vehicle, including a bicyclist in the oncoming lane or shoulder. If you cannot safely return to the right-hand side before the solid yellow line begins. If passing a bicyclist you can briefly cross a solid yellow when there is no oncoming traffic and you have a clear view ahead. On a curve or hill when your view is obstructed. Within 100 feet of a marked or unmarked intersection, or railroad crossing. Within 100 feet of any bridge, viaduct, or tunnel when view is obstructed. A bicyclist unless you can allow a minimum three foot buffer zone between your vehicle, including mirrors, and the bicyclist. You may pass another vehicle on the right side on a one-way street or on a roadway with two or more lanes of traffic in each direction. At no time shall such pass be made by driving off the pavement of the main traveled portion of the roadway
