Question 319 of 419

How must you signal the intention to overtake other vehicles when you ride the motorcycle at night, on an unlit road in an urban area?

A with the headlights;
B by using the main beam or the horn;
C with the direction indicator lights.

Explanation

For answer A

It is not allowed to use the headlights or the horn to signal the intention to overtake other vehicles. The main beam (long beam) will not be used at night from less than 100 meters from the vehicle that moves in front of you in the same direction and from less than 200 meters from the vehicle that moves from the opposite direction.


For answer B

Is prohibited the driver of the motor vehicle or the tram to use the sound warning devices abusively. The sound warning devices must be used from a distance of at least 25 meters from those they are addressed to, for a duration that ensures the perception of the signal and without causing them maneuvers that may endanger traffic safety.


For answer C

Regardless of whether you move during the day or at night or regardless of the circumstances, the intention to overtake other vehicles is signalled only with the direction indicator lights. No other type of signalling will be used for signalling the intention to overtake other vehicles.


The correct answer is: C
