When is it permissible to pass on the right?

Passing on the right is permissible in certain scenarios, particularly when a vehicle in front of you is turning left and there is enough space for you to safely maneuver around them. This situation is designed to promote traffic flow and efficiency while ensuring that you maintain safety. It is important, however, to assess the environment around you: make sure that the lane you are passing into is clear of other vehicles, pedestrians, and any obstacles. Additionally, your speed should be appropriate for the conditions, and you must signal your intentions clearly when changing lanes.

In this context, other scenarios presented do not universally allow for passing on the right. For example, if a car is changing lanes, it doesn't guarantee the safety of passing on the right, as the other vehicle may not be aware that you are attempting to pass. Similarly, asserting that passing on the right is only permissible when the road is clear lacks specificity about the traffic rules regarding turning vehicles. Lastly, stating that passing on the right is limited to residential areas does not reflect the wider regulations that allow such actions under the right conditions, regardless of location.
