Practice question · Right of way

Is it legal to pass a vehicle that is stopped at a crosswalk?

The rule

Don't go past a car that has stopped at a crosswalk so a person on foot can cross.

Never pass a car that's stopped at a crosswalk. Someone may be crossing where you can't see.

From the New York State Driver's Manual, page 39. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
