Passing target: 80% (20/25)
You drive in the left lane of a street with two lanes going your way. Ahead, a car in the right lane stops at a marked crosswalk in the middle of the block. You cannot see anyone in the crosswalk. What should you do?
A approaches a midblock marked crosswalk in the left of two same-direction lanes. B is stopped in the right lane before the crosswalk; no pedestrian is visible.
Correct answer: Slow down or stop, and do not pass until you know why the car stopped.
Why
On a street with two or more lanes each way, a stopped car can hide a pedestrian until the person steps into the next lane. Nevada makes it illegal to overtake a slowing or stopped vehicle until you have slowed enough to find out why it stopped. When in doubt, stop behind the crosswalk and wait.
