Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
A road has one travel lane in each direction and no-passing markings. A vehicle ahead is moving below the normal traffic speed. When can Delaware’s slower-vehicle exception permit a pass?
Correct answer: Only when necessary and safe, with clear sight distance and no restricted location.
Why
Delaware permits a reasonably necessary pass of a vehicle or bicycle moving below normal traffic speed in this one-lane situation, even across no-passing markings. You must still comply with clear-sight-distance and location restrictions, including hazardous crests and curves. Wait if any condition is not met. The exception is not permission to exceed the speed limit.
