Passing target: 70% (21/30)
On a two-lane road, you are behind a slow truck. The centerline is broken, and a side-road intersection is about 80 feet ahead. What should you do?
A follows a slow truck toward a side-road intersection on a two-lane highway. The broken yellow center line ends near the intersection, which is about 80 feet beyond the truck.
Correct answer: Stay behind the truck until you pass the intersection.
Why
Intersections, railroad crossings and shopping center entrances are places where vehicles are likely to enter or cross the road, and the vehicle you are passing can hide them from view. New Mexico law forbids driving on the left side of the road within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad grade crossing. Wait until you are clear of the intersection, then pass only if the road ahead is clear.
