AI Summary
This bill eliminates the requirement for an audible signal when a vehicle is being overtaken and passed by another vehicle on the right, as outlined in Section 636 of the Michigan Vehicle Code. The bill clarifies the rules for overtaking and passing vehicles, stating that the driver of the overtaking vehicle must pass at a safe distance to the left and return to the right side of the road when it is safe to do so. The driver of the overtaken vehicle must give way to the right in favor of the overtaking vehicle but is no longer required to provide an audible signal. The bill also specifies that a violation of this section is a civil infraction, and the amendatory act will take effect 90 days after it is enacted.
