Question 281 in the bank

Within which distance from a tunnel is it prohibited to overtake?

  1. Correct answer: Fifty meters before the entry to the tunnel and up to fifty meters after the exit from the tunnel.
  2. There is no overtaking restriction around a tunnel.
  3. 100 meters before the entry to the tunnel and up to 100 meters after the exit from the tunnel.
  4. From the entry until the exit of the tunnel.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Fifty meters before the entry to the tunnel and up to fifty meters after the exit from the tunnel.

Overtaking is forbidden inside the tunnel, and also in the 50 meters before the entry and the 50 meters after the exit. Near a tunnel the field of vision is limited, and the eyes need to adjust to the sharp change in lighting. So it is not enough to avoid overtaking inside the tunnel itself; you must finish any overtaking before this area.
