Question 5478

You must not begin passing without first checking that...

  1. there is enough space to return to the right lane when the maneuver is finished.
  2. the vehicles traveling behind are maintaining a safe following distance.
  3. the vehicle in front reduces its speed to make the maneuver easier.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: there is enough space to return to the right lane when the maneuver is finished.

Before passing, you must check that you will have enough room to return to your lane afterward without cutting off the vehicle you pass. Check whether any driver behind you has already started passing you. The driver ahead does not have to brake to make your pass easier.
