You never pass a car on a hill or in a curve.
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.
To pass, you need to be in a passing zone. There should be a clear view of the road ahead and enough time to pass before meeting oncoming cars.
