Are you passing the preceding vehicle correctly?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a residential street with cars parked on both sides; a military off-road vehicle in front of you stops, and a blue car is coming from the opposite direction. You slow down and stay behind the off-road vehicle, without moving onto the left side of the roadway while it is occupied - you are passing it correctly. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires you, when passing a stationary vehicle, to keep a safe distance from the vehicle you are passing and to reduce speed if necessary, and it also prohibits any action that could endanger road safety. Passing correctly on a narrow street means first judging whether the left side of the roadway is clear, and only then making the manoeuvre. You wait behind the off-road vehicle until the oncoming car has gone past, switch on your left indicator and pass it slowly with a gap, watching whether anyone is getting out.
