1. Passing on the left is legal only when there is a broken line on your side of the road or when there is a single white broken line in the middle of a two-lane road. 2. You should use a passing lane only when the maneuver is perceived as safe and prudent and can be completed without use of excessive speed. The pass must be completed within a reasonable amount of time, and you cannot exceed the speed limit.

Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread. - Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821.
