One of the conditions justifying an overtaking of a driving vehicle is:
- That the overtaking vehicle is delayed as a result of the slow driving of the vehicle in front.
- There are no conditions that justify an overtaking.
- Correct answer: That the difference in speed between the overtaking and the overtaken vehicles is sufficient to complete the manouver.
- That the overtaken vehicle drives slower than the maximum statutory speed.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: That the difference in speed between the overtaking and the overtaken vehicles is sufficient to complete the manouver.
Overtaking is a dangerous action, so it is justified when the difference in speed between the overtaking vehicle and the overtaken vehicle is significant. Then the overtaking is short, and the overtaking vehicle spends little time in the opposite lane or beside the overtaken vehicle. The delay itself, or driving below the maximum speed, is not a sufficient reason. When the speed difference is small, the overtaking is longer and more dangerous.
