In Canada, when passing another vehicle on a hill or curve, you must be able to see at least 150 meters (about 500 feet) ahead. This distance ensures that you have enough visibility to safely complete the maneuver without encountering oncoming traffic. It's crucial to prioritize safety and adhere to local traffic laws when considering passing in these conditions.

You never pass a car on a hill or in a curve.
A curve to the left, the vehicle would go to the right with no steering. A curve to the right, the vehicle would go left with no steering. Because any object in motion will continue to go straight unless another force takes it in another direction.
through the curve well ahead of your vehicle, along your path of travel. Mostly correct...but there are three parts to negotiating a curve; brake up to it, coast thru it, accelerate out of it. Your sight path should be ahead and to the OUTSIDE edge of the curve. You are looking at the point where your car would run out of the lane. As your progress thru the curve, your eyes "roll" forward also, always sighting to the outside. This results in maintaining center-of-lane travel, as well as enough forward observation to see, and react to, hazards.
ONLY when there's a wide shoulder or a parking lot, and the highway is straight and not near a curve straight ahead.
When rounding a curve, you should reduce your speed to maintain control and stability. Look ahead to anticipate the curve and adjust your steering smoothly without making abrupt movements. Keep your vehicle positioned toward the inside of the curve, and be aware of any potential hazards or changing road conditions. It's essential to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to ensure a safe maneuver.
