Question 88 of 802

How must the driver of the motor vehicle / the agricultural or forestry tractor proceed before engaging in an overtaking?

A signals and approaches as close as possible to the axis of the road, to ensure visibility over the traffic coming from the opposite direction;
B warns by acoustic or optical signals the driver of the vehicle that is to be overtaken;
C makes sure that the maneuver can be performed in safe conditions, after which signals the intention to change the direction of travel.

Explanation

For answer  A 

Before engaging in an overtaking, at first, you must NOT signal and approach as close as possible to the axis of the road, because first you must make sure that the vehicle in front and the one behind have not signalled the start of a similar maneuver. And if another vehicle has engaged in overtaking you, you can no longer engage in the overtaking, in which case you must not increase the travel speed and must drive as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway or of the lane on which you are traveling.


For answer  B 

Before engaging in an overtaking you must NOT warn by acoustic or optical signals the driver of the vehicle that is to be overtaken.


For answer  C 

When you want to perform the overtaking maneuver, you have the following obligations:

  • to make sure that the vehicle in front and the one behind have not signalled the start of a similar maneuver and that you can overtake without endangering or hindering the traffic coming from the opposite direction;
  • to signal the intention to perform the maneuver;
  • to keep during the overtaking a sufficient lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle;
  • to re-enter the initial line of vehicles, after you have signalled and made sure that you can perform the maneuver in safe conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other road users.

Therefore, before engaging in an overtaking, the driver of the motor vehicle / the agricultural or forestry tractor must make sure that the maneuver can be performed in safe conditions, after which signals the intention to change the direction of travel.


The correct answer is: C
