Which statement about passing between moving vehicles is correct?

• A. It is illegal to pass BETWEEN two moving vehicles.
• B. You can pass between two moving vehicles if you are in a hurry.
• C. It is legal if you signal.
• D. You can pass if there is a gap in traffic.

Answer: (B)

Passing between moving vehicles is extremely risky and not allowed on most roads in Oregon. You should only pass when there’s a clearly safe opportunity, such as a designated passing zone or a wide, clear lane with plenty of distance from oncoming traffic. Being in a hurry doesn’t make it legal, and signaling doesn’t validate an illegal maneuver. A gap in traffic isn’t by itself a guarantee of safety—you can misjudge speed or distance and cause a crash. The correct approach is to avoid passing between two moving vehicles and wait for a safe, legal opportunity to pass.
