Question 6156
On a road with one lane in each direction, a truck is passing and blocking your view. Are you allowed to pass behind the truck?
- Yes, because the truck protects me.
- Yes, when there is no sign prohibiting passing.
- No, because there is no visibility.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, because there is no visibility.
No. If the truck that is passing blocks your view of the road, you cannot see oncoming traffic or abandon the maneuver in time, so passing behind it is prohibited. Following it closely does not protect you, and no sign is needed for this prohibition to apply.
