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

The rule

Passing at a crosswalk is illegal. Don't pass as you near a crosswalk where the car ahead of you, or the car in the next lane, has stopped.

Passing at a crosswalk is illegal. A car stopped there may be waiting for someone you can't see.

From the Virginia Driver's Manual, section 3, page 18. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
