Why should you never pass on a curve or hill?

It is against the law
You may not see oncoming traffic for at least 700 feet
It could lead to an accident
There are usually signs prohibiting passing

The correct answer is: You may not see oncoming traffic for at least 700 feet

Passing on a curve or hill is particularly dangerous because visibility is significantly reduced. When you approach a curve or a hill, you cannot see around or over it, which means you may not be able to detect oncoming traffic or potential hazards for a considerable distance. The typical rule of thumb is that if you cannot see at least 700 feet ahead, it is unsafe to attempt a pass. This limited visibility increases the risk of a collision since you may inadvertently cross paths with another vehicle that is coming from the opposite direction. Safety is paramount when driving, and maintaining awareness of your surroundings is vital to preventing accidents.
