A single dashed line, white or yellow, separates two lanes. When may you NOT cross it?

Answer options

Why

A single dashed line lets you pass or change lanes, but only when the move is safe and does not disrupt other vehicles. If crossing would force another driver to brake or swerve, stay in your lane.
