Question 6386

Before starting to pass another vehicle, the driver is required to check that...

  1. their vehicle has enough speed to perform the maneuver.
  2. the vehicle traveling ahead warns them with audible signals that it is possible to do so.
  3. the roadway has more than one lane for their direction of travel.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: their vehicle has enough speed to perform the maneuver.

Before pulling out to pass, you must check, among other things, that your vehicle has enough speed to pass the other vehicle quickly without exceeding the road's speed limit, and to return without endangering oncoming traffic. If you lack the power or space, do not start. The driver ahead does not have to honk to let you know, and your direction of travel does not need to have more than one lane.
