Question 2066
Two vehicles of the same type meet at a narrow section, and it is not known which entered first. If both would have to back up the same distance, which has the right-of-way?
- The one with the greater width, length, or maximum authorized mass, in that order.
- The one with the greater maximum authorized mass, width, or length, in that order.
- The one with the greater width, maximum authorized mass, or length, in that order.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The one with the greater width, length, or maximum authorized mass, in that order.
Since both would have to back up the same distance, the wider vehicle has priority. If they are also the same width, their lengths are compared, followed lastly by their maximum authorized masses.
