- State: Indiana
Answer:
Indiana does not have a specific law addressing overtaking bicycles. However, the general overtaking law, IC 9-21-8-5, states that when a driver overtakes another vehicle traveling in the same direction, they must pass to the left at a safe distance. The driver cannot return to the right side of the roadway until they are safely clear of the vehicle being overtaken.
