You want to overtake slow truck A in lane 2. In lane 1, car B is running alongside A. Which TWO statements are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is following truck A in lane 2
- Truck A is moving slowly
- Car B in lane 1 is running alongside A
Overtaking must be done on the left of the vehicle ahead, and you may not overtake when another vehicle is running alongside it on its left (Articles 21(1) and 22(1)1 of the Road Traffic Act). Consider whether passing on the right or between the two vehicles is allowed just because the other lane is blocked.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
You may not overtake a vehicle when another vehicle is running alongside it on its left (Road Traffic Act Article 22(1)1). Overtaking must be done on the left of the vehicle ahead (Article 21(1)), so wait until B has gone, lane 1 is clear and traffic ahead is safe, then pass A on its left. Passing on the right edge or between the two vehicles is dangerous, and tailgating also breaks the duty to keep a safe distance (Article 19(1)).
