Passing. When is it illegal to pass another vehicle?

On a hill
On a single-lane road
On a two-way road
On an expressway

The correct answer is: On a single-lane road

On a single-lane road, it is illegal to pass another vehicle because there is no extra lane for you to use to safely pass the other vehicle. Passing on a hill could also be dangerous and potentially illegal, but it depends on the visibility and the specific situation. On a two-way road or an expressway, passing is allowed as long as it is done safely and legally.
