Which of the following vehicles can you overtake when you're riding a light four-wheeled vehicle (microcar, quad) on the road, once you go past this sign?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. A moped.
Explanation
In the photo, at the right-hand edge, there is sign B-25 "no overtaking", the roadway is divided by a double solid line, and a lorry is driving ahead of us. When driving a light quadricycle, beyond this sign you may overtake a moped - answer C.
Sign B-25 prohibits drivers of power-driven vehicles from overtaking multi-track power-driven vehicles. A light quadricycle is a power-driven vehicle, so the ban applies to it. An agricultural tractor (answer A) and a motorcycle with a sidecar (answer B) are multi-track power-driven vehicles - the sidecar has its own wheel, which rolls in a separate track, so the whole vehicle is multi-track. By definition a moped is not a power-driven vehicle, so the B-25 ban does not protect it - regardless of whether it has two or three wheels. When overtaking a moped, you keep a lateral clearance of at least 1 m and you do not drive onto the double solid line visible in the photo.
