Question 3986
If you are about to pass and the vehicle traveling ahead has turned on its left turn signal, indicating its intention to pass, who has the right-of-way in passing?
- The one who starts the lateral movement first.
- The driver of the vehicle that has already turned on its turn signal.
- The one traveling at a higher speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The driver of the vehicle that has already turned on its turn signal.
The driver ahead has priority because they have already turned on their left turn signal to pass, so you must wait for them to make the maneuver. If a reasonable amount of time passes and they do not start, you may pass them after warning them by flashing your headlights or, outside built-up areas, honking. Driving faster or moving to the left first does not give you priority.
