Useful Traffic Rules Test — is overtaking two cars allowed.

The task is about the placement of vehicles on the road. Is it allowed for the driver of the red car to overtake in the situation depicted in the picture?

The task was proposed by the channel 'For! The Rules'.

Answer options:

1. Allowed.
2. Allowed if both lanes ahead are occupied.
3. Allowed if the speed of the cars ahead is less than 30 km/h.
4. Allowed under the conditions stated in options 2 and 3.
5. Prohibited.

Task breakdown:

On the section of the road, the drivers of the blue and green cars are going straight, while the driver of the red car intends to overtake them.

The oncoming traffic lanes are separated by a solid line of road markings, which can be crossed as an exception for overtaking individual vehicles moving at a speed of less than 30 km/h.

However, the road depicted in the situation has two lanes for traffic in one direction and one in the other. Therefore, let’s read point 11.4 Traffic Rules:

'On roads with two-way traffic that have at least two lanes for traffic in one direction, it is prohibited to enter the side of the road designated for oncoming traffic.'

Correct answer:

No.5

Earlier, we proposed interesting problems related to traffic rules:

• Quick Traffic Rules Test: is overtaking allowed?
• Traffic Rules Test at the roundabout: who has the priority?

In the proposed task, it is prohibited for the driver of the red car to overtake according to the Traffic Rules.
