When are you allowed to pass a vehicle using broken or dashed yellow lines?

You are allowed to pass a vehicle using broken or dashed yellow lines because these markings indicate that passing is permitted when it is safe to do so. This means that drivers can enter the opposing lane to overtake another vehicle, provided they have a clear view of oncoming traffic and are confident that the maneuver can be completed without danger to themselves or others.

The rule is designed to enhance safety on the road while allowing flexibility in driving, especially on roads where one lane is designated for this purpose. It is important, however, for drivers to exercise caution, ensuring that visibility is adequate and that no other factors, such as the speed of oncoming vehicles or road conditions, could make passing hazardous. The other options present restrictions or conditions that do not apply to the situation described when there are broken or dashed yellow lines.
