Question 4715

The white vehicle following you is moving into the left lane to pass you. In this situation, may you begin a passing maneuver?

  1. No, because the driver of the white vehicle has the right-of-way.
  2. Yes, provided the vehicle ahead is traveling at a reduced speed.
  3. Only if the maneuver is performed quickly so as to inconvenience others as little as possible.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because the driver of the white vehicle has the right-of-way.

No. In the mirror, the white passenger car is already in the left lane to pass you, so it has started the maneuver and has priority. You must wait for it to pass. Neither doing it quickly nor the vehicle ahead moving slowly allows you to pull out first.
