On narrow roads, you must allow vehicles traveling in the opposite direction at least one-half of the main-traveled portion of the road. Both vehicles must have adequate space in order for the drivers to safely pass one another.

16. Signaling your intentions before turning, changing lanes, or driving away from a curb:

Is necessary only if other traffic is present.

17. Worn or bald tires:

Can make turning more difficult.

Are likely to hydroplane.

Worn or bald tires can increase your stopping distance and make turning more difficult. Tires without adequate tread also increase the risk of hydroplaning.

18. Is it legal cross a double solid yellow centerline to pass?

Yes.

No.

If there is no oncoming traffic.

If the vehicle ahead of you is driving under the speed limit.

Two solid yellow lines down the center of a two-way road mean that neither lane of traffic may cross the lines, unless they are turning off of the roadway. A driver can cross double yellow lines when turning into or out of a driveway or entrance to a business. No passing is allowed over a solid yellow line.
