Following a “level crossing” sign that is placed about a 100 meters before the crossing, how would you conduct yourself when a slow vehicle is driving before you?
- You are permitted to overtake it.
- You are permitted to overtake it only when the road ahead is clear.
- Correct answer: You are prohibited from overtaking until after the level crossing.
- You are permitted to overtake it only when its speed doesn’t exceed 35 k.p.h.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: You are prohibited from overtaking until after the level crossing.
Near a level crossing, overtaking is forbidden from the warning sign before the crossing until you have crossed it. You may have to stop before the tracks, and the slow vehicle ahead may stop suddenly. The ban still applies even if the road ahead is clear or the vehicle is moving very slowly.
