Question 744 in the bank

When driving on a narrow downhill road, you should give right of way to vehicles driving uphill in the following instances:

  1. Only on an urban road.
  2. Only if a dangerous descent sign is placed.
  3. Correct answer: When the road section is too narrow to allow both vehicles to pass each other at the same time.
  4. Only if the weight of the vehicle driving uphill is more than four tons.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When the road section is too narrow to allow both vehicles to pass each other at the same time.

On a narrow slope where the two vehicles cannot pass each other at the same time, the vehicle going downhill must give way to the one going uphill. A vehicle climbing a slope has a harder time stopping and starting again, while the descending vehicle can stop and make room more easily. This applies on any road, regardless of road type, a dangerous descent sign or the uphill vehicle's weight.
