Question 252 of 554

How does the driver of the motor vehicle proceed in the situation in which the vehicle in front changes its direction of travel to the left, and on the right side there is not enough space for overtaking?

A signals and performs overtaking with reduced speed;
B attempts overtaking on the left;
C waits for the lane to clear in order to continue driving.

Explanation

The vehicle that has signalled and has moved into position correctly for leaving the direction of travel to the left is overtaken on the right side, on the condition that the space remaining available allows performing this maneuver. However, in the situations in which after its positioning no space is created for performing the maneuver of overtaking on the right side, you must stop behind it and wait for the lane to clear in order to be able to continue your driving.

It should be noted that overtaking these vehicles will not be performed on the left side but will be performed only on the right side and if the space remaining available does not allow performing the maneuver, it is not permitted to drive onto the sidewalk or onto the green areas in order to perform it.

The correct answer is: C
