Question 5197
Is it permitted to pass a vehicle that has in turn signaled its intention to pass?
- No, you have to wait until the maneuver is finished or it turns off its turn signal.
- No, if it has signaled, it always has the right-of-way.
- Yes, if after a reasonable amount of time it does not pass and you warn it with audible or visual signals.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, if after a reasonable amount of time it does not pass and you warn it with audible or visual signals.
Yes, with conditions. If the driver ahead has signaled that they are going to pass, they have the right-of-way, and you must wait. If a reasonable amount of time passes and they do not pass, you may pass them after first warning them by flashing your headlights or, outside built-up areas, sounding your horn. Their right-of-way does not last forever, and you do not have to wait for them to turn off their turn signal.
