You should avoid passing another vehicle when:

• A. When the sun is setting.
• B. None of the above is correct.
• C. As you approach a hill crest.
• D. When a police officer is present.

Answer: (C)

Passing should only be done when you have a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead and enough room to complete the maneuver safely. On a hill crest, visibility is limited—you can’t tell if traffic is coming in the opposite lane or whether there’s a vehicle ahead of you preparing to re-enter your lane. Because you may not see an oncoming car until it’s very close, there’s a real risk of a head-on collision, so avoid passing there. Other scenarios aren’t as universally unsafe for passing: the sun setting can make visibility worse but isn’t an automatic ban on passing if you still have a safe view and space; a police officer’s presence means you should follow their directions, but it doesn’t inherently permit unsafe passes.
