What should you do when you cross a double yellow line to pass a slower vehicle?

Maintain your speed
Change lanes quickly
Merge back as soon as possible
Stop in the middle

The correct answer is: Merge back as soon as possible

When you cross a double yellow line, you are entering a no-passing zone. This means that it is unsafe to pass a slower vehicle in this area. Changing lanes quickly (option B) can also be dangerous as you may not have enough space or time to do so safely. Maintaining your speed (option A) could lead to a collision with the slower vehicle or oncoming traffic. Stopping in the middle (option D) would also be unsafe as it would block the flow of traffic and could potentially cause an accident. The safest and most appropriate action to take would be to merge back into the original lane as soon as possible. This allows for a smooth and safe transition while obeying traffic laws.
