When you drive on a one-way street past a vehicle parked on your left, you should position your vehicle:

• A. Directly next to the parked car
• B. To the left edge of the road
• C. To the right portion of the lane
• D. In the center of the lane

Answer: (C)

When you drive on a one-way street and there’s a vehicle parked on your left, you should pass it by staying toward the right portion of your lane. This position gives you space to clear the side of the parked car and reduces the chance of hitting a door that might swing open or a person who could step out from between cars. Since traffic on the street all moves in the same direction, you don’t need to move toward the left edge or stop in the center of the lane; keeping to the right provides a safer buffer and makes it easier to merge back smoothly after you’ve passed. Passing directly next to the parked car or near the left edge increases the risk of a sudden opening door or a vehicle pulling out, so the right side of the lane is the safer choice.
