A driver ahead is also trying to overtake. What do you do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Wait; never overtake two vehicles at once without a long clear gap
- Step 1: Overtaking a line of vehicles needs extra length. Step 2. Only do it with a long clear gap. Answer: Wait; never overtake two vehicles at once without a long clear gap. Why not the others: Pass both at once at speed: passing two vehicles needs a much longer clear gap, which speed alone does not provide. Pass in the opposite lane: the opposite lane is exactly where a head-on collision would occur. Sound the horn: a horn does not create the clear road length needed to pass.
