Question 4294
If the roadway is not wide enough for other vehicles to pass it easily and safely, what must the driver of a large vehicle do to let the vehicles behind them go by?
- Stop the vehicle on the shoulder, always.
- Nothing; passing-related obligations apply only to the driver who is passing.
- Reduce their speed or move over to the shoulder if practicable.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reduce their speed or move over to the shoulder if practicable.
If the roadway is too narrow for other vehicles to pass easily and safely, the driver of a large vehicle must slow down or move onto the shoulder, if it is usable, to let those behind pass. Either action is enough, without stopping. The driver being passed also has obligations.
