In California, when are you allowed to drive to the left of two solid yellow lines?
Correct answer
- Never
- When you are in a carpool/HOV lane with a designated entrance on the left
- When you are passing another vehicle
Explanation
Two solid yellow lines indicate no passing. You may not cross these lines except to make a left turn. However, in California, there is one exception to this usual rule: You may drive to the left of these lines if you are in a carpool/HOV lane that has a designated entrance on the left.
