Question 5813

As a general rule, may the black vehicle pass the white vehicle, which is signaling its intention to move to the left in order to pass?

  1. No, because the white vehicle has the right-of-way.
  2. Yes, because the black vehicle has the right-of-way.
  3. Only if the shoulder is wide enough to use it while passing.
Show answer and explanation

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

No. The white vehicle is ahead and has already signaled that it is moving left to pass, so it has the right-of-way, and the black vehicle must wait, even if its turn signal is also on. Passing it on the shoulder is not allowed either, because you must not use the shoulder to pass.
