Question 6181
The green vehicle reduces its speed because the passing maneuver the white vehicle is making is dangerous; is the green vehicle's behavior correct?
- Only if no other vehicle is traveling behind the green vehicle.
- No, the green vehicle must not change its speed.
- Yes, so that the white vehicle can return to the right as soon as possible.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, so that the white vehicle can return to the right as soon as possible.
Yes. If a passing maneuver becomes dangerous, the driver being passed must slow down so the other driver can finish and return to the right as soon as possible. In the image, the white vehicle is passing the green one and a dark passenger car is approaching from the opposite direction, so the green vehicle is right to brake. This obligation applies whether or not another vehicle is behind it.
