The lanes in the picture are divided by a single solid white line. Under what circumstances may you cross it?

Answer options

Why

A single solid white line discourages lane changes but does not forbid them, so you may cross it when traffic conditions call for it, such as to get around an obstruction. Crossing it is not limited to driveways or U-turns.
