The following rules shall govern the overtaking and passing of vehicles proceeding in the same direction:

(1) A driver may overtake and pass another vehicle only while traveling on the left side of the highway and shall not return to the right side of the highway until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle.

(2) A driver may overtake and pass another vehicle only when the left side of the highway is clearly visible and free of oncoming traffic.

(3) No vehicle shall be driven on the left side of the highway when approaching the crest of a grade, a curve, or where markings are in place to define a no passing zone.

(4) All passing shall be done in a safe manner.

Commentary: This provision is generally based on California Vehicle Code Section 21750. If there is any conflict between this provision and the California Vehicle Code, this code shall supersede the California Vehicle Code.
