Howdy, iam Allan Norrington, Hope you’re doing well!
Woah, talk about a close call! I was driving down the highway the other day and saw a vehicle overtake a broken yellow line. It was so dangerous - I couldn’t believe my eyes! Thank goodness no one got hurt. It just goes to show that you should always be aware of your surroundings when you’re on the road. Otherwise, you could end up in a real pickle!
Can The Vehicle Overtake On The Side Of The Broken Yellow Line? [Solved]
Gotcha! Passing or overtaking is a-okay on the side with the broken or dotted line, but not on the side with the solid one. You’ll usually spot this type of marking on two- or three-lane roads.
Check your mirrors: Before attempting to overtake, make sure you check your rear and side mirrors to ensure that no other vehicles are approaching from behind.
Signal: Once you have checked your mirrors, signal to the driver in front of you that you intend to overtake by using your indicator lights.
Accelerate: When it is safe to do so, accelerate past the vehicle in front of you while staying within the speed limit and keeping a safe distance between both vehicles.
Maintain speed: Once you have passed the vehicle in front of you, maintain a steady speed until it is safe for them to move back into their lane or until they indicate that they are doing so themselves.
Return safely: After overtaking, return safely back into your own lane and turn off any indicators used during the manoeuvre once complete
When you’re driving and you see a broken yellow line, it’s time to be extra cautious. You should never try to overtake another vehicle in this situation - it’s just too dangerous! Plus, it’s illegal. So just take your time and stay safe out there!
