Passing another vehicle is illegal when it occurs in a no-passing zone, such as areas marked with solid lines, near intersections, or when visibility is limited due to curves or hills. It is also illegal to pass when doing so would endanger other road users or when there are oncoming vehicles. Additionally, passing in situations where it violates local traffic laws or regulations is considered illegal. Always check for specific traffic signs and local laws to ensure safe and legal passing.
