Answer:
Massachusetts does not have any law directly on point. However, Overtaking law, “89 § 2 Passing vehicle traveling in same direction.”, states that “except as herein otherwise provided, the driver of a vehicle passing another vehicle traveling in the same direction shall drive a safe distance to the left of such other vehicle; and, if the way is of sufficient width for the two vehicles to pass, the driver of the leading one shall not unnecessarily obstruct the other.”
