Explanation

If you are driving a passenger vehicle, motorcycle or pickup, not towing another vehicle, you may exceed the posted speed limit by up to 15 miles per hour, while passing another vehicle that is traveling below the posted speed limit on a two lane roadway.

You must return to the right-hand lane and reduce speed to the posted speed limit as soon as practicable. You must complete a pass before coming within 200 feet of oncoming traffic. Passing is prohibited within 100 feet of a railroad crossing. You may pass a vehicle on the right when the vehicle is turning left.
