Florida Learner's Permit Practice Test

When is it permissible to pass a vehicle on the right?

1. When the vehicle ahead is making a left turn

2. When the left lane is an emergency lane

3. On two lane roads in residential districts

4. Only when on a four lane highway

The correct answer is: When the vehicle ahead is making a left turn

Passing a vehicle on the right means that a vehicle must drive to the right of the vehicle you are trying to pass. It is only permissible to pass a vehicle on the right when the vehicle ahead of you is making a left turn and there is enough space to do so safely. This option is correct because it follows standard traffic laws and ensures the safety of both drivers. Options B, C and D are incorrect because they do not follow standard traffic laws and would be considered illegal maneuvers. Passing on the right in an emergency lane is not allowed as this lane is designated for emergency vehicles only, passing on a two lane road in a residential district could potentially cause harm to pedestrians or parked cars, and passing only on a four lane highway does not account for situations where a vehicle may slow down or stop to make a left turn. As such, these options are not considered permissible to pass a vehicle on
