Under what conditions are you allowed to pass another vehicle on the right side?

When the vehicle in front of you is turning left
On one-way streets
In the opposing traffic lane
When the road is divided by a median

The correct answer is: When the vehicle in front of you is turning left

Passing another vehicle on the right side should only be done when it is safe and legal to do so. "A" is the correct answer because when a vehicle in front of you is turning left, there is an open lane on the right side that you can use to pass. This is typically allowed as long as there are no obstructions blocking the lane. The other options, "B", "C", and "D", are incorrect because "B" and "D" only allow for passing on the left side of the vehicle, while "C" can be dangerous and illegal as it requires driving into oncoming traffic. Overall, passing on the right side should only be done when necessary and in accordance with the rules of the road.
