Question 7184

A driver who passes another vehicle...

  1. must drive their vehicle at a speed significantly higher than that of the vehicle they intend to pass.
  2. may exceed the maximum speed limit set on freeways and high-capacity divided highways (autovías) by 20 km/h.
  3. must maintain a moderate speed, regardless of how long the pass takes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: must drive their vehicle at a speed significantly higher than that of the vehicle they intend to pass.

While passing, you must travel significantly faster than the vehicle you are passing so you spend as little time alongside it as possible. Passing does not allow you to exceed the speed limit on any type of road.
