· Switch off your turn signal

· Follow the vehicle ahead at a safe

Can you pass on the right when on a three lane highway?

You can, but you shouldn't. Passing on the right is dangerous, and should be avoided, as it causes problems with cars merging into what should be a slower lane, while you are going faster than the normal traffic in that lane. If you wish to pass a car that is in the center lane, go on their left. If the car in the left lane is going slow, wait for them to merge to the right.


When turning right on a four lane unmarked road I know you are supposed to go to the curb at first but which lane should you end up in?

From the rightmost lane a right turn should end in the rightmost lane. If more than one lane permits a right turn then it should end in the corresponding lane from the right. Just imagine as if the turn was on a curved road linking the two roads (this also applies for left turns) with a one to one lane correspondence between the turning lanes of the road you are on and the ending lanes in the road you end up in, assuming that there is moving traffic in all of the turn lanes that you must not collide with during the turn.


Never pass a vehicle from the rear on a two lane highway?

I do not understand your question. If you are not behind another vehicle, under what conditions would you want to pass? I have passed many vehicles when I have been driving on a two lane highway. First: You should not cross a solid line unless there is a dashed line on your side of the solid line. Second: There should not be another car coming in your direction. Third: Your vision of the road ahead should be clear so that it is safe to pass. Fourth: The other car should be going slow enough so that you have a reason to pass.

If the lane you are driving ends should you accelerate into the next lane?

You should merge into the next lane when it is safe, and do not accelerate in front of another driver. That is a collision waiting to happen.You should merge into the lane by slowly applying the brakes, and when all drivers right next to you have passed, accelerate into the lane, but do not creep into the lane, otherwise the driver in the lane you are merging into will probably collide with you because he was going fast and you were going slow.Accelerating is fine when it is safe, but do not accelerate to get in before another driver can pass by.
