GENERAL Learning Environment Category C (C, C1)
Question 287 of 533

The maneuver of avoidance, by changing the direction of travel, of an obstacle located on your lane of travel, followed by returning to the same lane, constitutes:

A avoidance;
B overtaking;
C emergency situation.

Explanation

Overtaking is the maneuver by which a vehicle moves ahead of another vehicle or past an obstacle, located on the same lane of travel, by changing the direction of travel and leaving the traffic lane or the line of vehicles in which it was initially. [OUG* Art. 45 paragraph (1)]

TO REMEMBER:

  1. Whether we want to move ahead of another vehicle located on the same lane, or whether we want to avoid an obstacle on the carriageway located on the same lane, it is still called overtaking;
  2. Whether we cross over the marking that separates the directions of travel and enter the opposite direction, or whether we do not cross over the marking that separates the directions of travel and remain on the same direction, it is still called overtaking.

Therefore, the maneuver of avoidance of an obstacle located on your lane of travel, by changing the direction of travel, followed by returning to the same lane, is considered to be an overtaking maneuver.

The correct answer is: B
