Question 4723

If the moped driver decides to pass the tractor, they must keep in mind that...

  1. they must perform the maneuver without leaving the shoulder.
  2. they may not pass while vehicles are traveling in the opposite direction.
  3. they may not travel alongside the tractor for more than 15 seconds or 200 meters.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: they may not travel alongside the tractor for more than 15 seconds or 200 meters.

A moped must use the shoulder when it is usable. If it pulls out to pass, it must not travel alongside the tractor for more than 15 seconds or cover more than 200 meters alongside it. To pass, it has to leave the shoulder and enter the roadway. Like any driver, the moped driver must not pass if doing so endangers oncoming traffic.
