You may pass a vehicle on the right in all of the following situations EXCEPT

  1. When the vehicle is turning left and there is a dedicated right lane

  2. When passing a bicycle or pedestrian

  3. When you are in a left turn lane

  4. When on a multiple-lane one-way street

The correct answer is: When you are in a left turn lane

Passing a vehicle on the right should not be done when you are in a left turn lane because it would involve turning across traffic and would be dangerous for both you and the other driver. In all other situations listed, passing on the right may be allowed. Option A allows passing on the right when there is a dedicated turning lane on your left. Option B specifies that a non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian is being passed, which is typically allowed. Option D describes an environment where multiple lanes are moving in the same direction, making passing on the right potentially safer and more feasible.
