Question 7098
The obligation to leave enough space to allow passing does not apply...
- where passing is prohibited.
- on roads with a single lane in each direction.
- on conventional roads (carreteras convencionales).
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: where passing is prohibited.
In the image, the no-passing sign and solid line prohibit passing on that section of road. Since no one is allowed to pass you, you do not have to leave that gap, but you must still leave enough distance to brake without hitting the green car. On a conventional road (carretera convencional) with one lane in each direction, that gap is required where passing is allowed.
