Question 7188
What must the driver of a large vehicle do to make it easier to be passed?
- They must stop on the shoulder.
- Slow down or move over onto the shoulder if it is practicable.
- Nothing; responsibility for the pass always lies with the driver who is passing.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Slow down or move over onto the shoulder if it is practicable.
When oncoming traffic or the road's width, profile, or condition prevents other drivers from passing easily and safely, the driver of a large vehicle must slow down or move onto the shoulder, if it is usable, to let those behind pass. They do not have to stop, and responsibility does not lie only with the driver who is passing.
