Passing target: 80% (28/35)
Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
On a two-lane highway posted 55 mph, the car ahead drives 50 mph. To pass it inside the passing zone, you would need to reach 65 mph. What does Oregon law allow?
Correct answer: You may pass only if you can finish without going over 55 mph
Why
A pass of a vehicle that is only a little slower than you takes a long time and a long stretch of open road. Know how fast your vehicle can accelerate and how much clear road you have, and begin the pass only after the passing zone starts. When in doubt, stay in your lane.
