Question 8124
To pass this vehicle...
- you are required to wait for a section where the roadway is dry.
- you must be especially careful, because the spray may reduce visibility.
- no special precautions need to be taken.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: you must be especially careful, because the spray may reduce visibility.
When you pass another vehicle on a wet roadway, its tires spray water onto your windshield, and for a few seconds you may barely be able to see. Keep your windshield wipers running, make sure you have plenty of room, and abandon the pass if you cannot see the road clearly. You do not need to wait until the roadway is dry.
