Question 7215
You are being passed. In what circumstances are you required to reduce your speed to allow the driver of the vehicle passing you to complete the maneuver?
- Never.
- When a situation involving a clear danger of an accident arises.
- When the vehicle passing you shows clear signs of abandoning the maneuver.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When a situation involving a clear danger of an accident arises.
You must slow down if, once the pass has begun, a danger arises for you, the driver passing you, or others. If that driver clearly shows they are abandoning the pass by braking to drop back behind you, you do not have to slow down, and you help them return. In the image, the blue vehicle brakes because a van is coming toward it.
