Question 3727

The obligation to leave sufficient space to allow passing does not apply...

  1. on roads with a single lane in each direction.
  2. where passing is prohibited.
  3. on conventional roads.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: where passing is prohibited.

That gap lets the driver behind you pass you. In the image, the no-passing sign means no one may pass you on that section, so you do not need to leave that gap. You still keep enough distance to brake without a collision. On a conventional road (carretera convencional) with one lane in each direction, the gap is required if passing is allowed.
