The car ahead of you is slow. May you pass it within its own lane?
Right! A motorcycle may not overtake and pass in the lane occupied by the vehicle being passed. 📖 p. 25

What the Tennessee Motorcycle Operator Manual says about Tennessee license and motorcycle laws
Motorized Bicycle
In Tennessee a motorized bicycle (under 50 cc) needs no motorcycle endorsement, title or registration and may be ridden by anyone with a valid driver license; goggles and windshields aren't required, but a crash helmet is, at any age. p. 4
Motorcycle Learner Permit
At 16, a Tennessee motorcycle learner permit holder may exchange the permit for a motorcycle license at a Driver Service Center with no tests, and the permit's restrictions and size limit are removed. p. 5
Special Benefits
By Tennessee law, riders who pass a state-certified rider education course and the vision screening get a 10% discount on motorcycle liability insurance, lasting three years. p. 5
Proof of Tennessee Residency
A first-time Tennessee applicant brings two proofs of Tennessee residence, from different sources and current within four months (IRS documents within 12); a post office box or mail-drop address doesn't count, and wireless phone bills aren't accepted. p. 11
Identification and Application Requirements
Motorcycle licenses follow the regular Tennessee renewal cycle: licenses for people over 21 expire every eight years, and a Class M-Limited license issued at 15 expires on the 16th birthday. p. 13
Crash Helmets
Tennessee requires every motorcycle operator and passenger to wear a crash helmet meeting federal standard 218 (49 CFR 571.218); riders 21 and older may wear a helmet meeting standard 218 without its penetration, contour and labeling tests, but it must carry an ASTM, CPSC or Snell label. p. 23
