Question 7208
On this two-way road, a vehicle is stopped because of a breakdown. May you cross the solid line to pass it?
- Yes, but only when it is safe to do so.
- Only if a traffic officer or another authorized person is directing traffic.
- No, because passing is prohibited.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, but only when it is safe to do so.
Yes, if it is safe. You may go past a broken-down vehicle blocking your lane by crossing the solid line and entering the oncoming side, without anyone having to direct traffic. First, check that no one is coming toward you, leave at least 1.5 meters of clearance, and travel at least 20 km/h below the speed limit. Going past it does not count as a passing maneuver.
