Practice questions with this sign
You are driving the blue car. The centre line on your side is solid. May you pass?
- No; a solid line on your side means it is unsafe to pass (Correct answer)
- Yes, if the car ahead is driving slowly
- Yes, but only in daylight
- Yes, if you sound your horn first
Explanation: A solid line at the left of your lane means passing is unsafe there. You may pass only where the line on your side is broken and the way is clear.
Look at the grey car coming the other way. The broken line is on its side. May its driver pass?
- No; nobody may ever pass here
- No, because there is a solid line in the centre
- Only if the blue car signals first
- Yes, if the way is clear (Correct answer)
Explanation: Each driver follows the line on their own side. The grey car has a broken line on its side, so its driver may pass when the way is clear; the solid line on the blue car's side means passing is unsafe for the blue car.
