You approach a zebra crossing with zig-zag lines, and a car ahead has stopped at the crossing to let a pedestrian cross. May you overtake it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. No, you must not overtake the vehicle nearest the crossing, whether it is moving or stopped to give way
- Step 1: Overtaking is banned in the zig-zag area, and also on the approach to a crossing. Step 2. The ban covers the vehicle nearest to the crossing, whether it is moving or has stopped for pedestrians. Answer: No, you must not overtake the vehicle nearest the crossing, whether it is moving or stopped to give way. Why not the others: Clear pedestrians, an empty opposite lane and a lower speed do not lift the ban.
