Question 749
What should a driver who intends to pass the vehicle ahead do?
- Maintain a safe following distance and wait for the right moment to pass.
- Use the horn to warn the other driver of the intention to pass so they move to the right.
- Get very close to it so the passing maneuver takes less time.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Maintain a safe following distance and wait for the right moment to pass.
Intending to pass does not allow you to reduce your safe following distance. You must maintain it and wait until you can perform the maneuver without danger or obstructing other road users.
