Question 24 of 554

If a vehicle descends and, from opposite direction, another vehicle intends to overtake an obstacle, who gives priority of passage?

A the vehicle that climbs, because it performs a prohibited overtaking;
B the vehicle that descends;
C the vehicle that has the possibility to withdraw into a refuge.

Explanation

For answers  A  and  B 

The vehicles that descend a slope have the obligation to give priority to the vehicles that climb, if on the direction of those who climb there is a fixed obstacle. In this situation the traffic legislation exempts the overtaking maneuver of those who climb from the prohibition to perform overtaking “Is prohibited the overtaking of vehicles when from opposite direction another vehicle approaches, and its driver is obliged to perform maneuvers to avoid the collision”.


For answer  C 

This rule applies on narrow roads and/or with declivity only to vehicles of the same category and the traffic legislation does not include also the cases in which there is a fixed obstacle in this rule.


The correct answer is: B
