You are driving on a road with one lane each way. Oncoming car A has crossed the centerline into your lane to overtake truck B. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight on a road with one lane each way
- Oncoming car A is crossing the centerline while overtaking truck B
- Solid double yellow centerline
💡 Hint
Vehicles must keep to the right of the centerline (Article 13(3) of the Road Traffic Act), but insisting on your path because the other driver broke the rule leads to a head-on collision. Also consider that swerving toward the opposite lane invites even greater danger (Article 48(1)).
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
Vehicles must keep to the right of the centerline (Road Traffic Act Article 13(3)), so car A's overtaking is a violation. But insisting on your path because the other driver is at fault can lead to a head-on crash; slow down at once, move to the right, and warn car A with your lights or horn to prevent an accident (Article 48(1)). Crossing the centerline yourself or speeding up is even more dangerous.
