Working snowplows occupy the lanes ahead, with no clear passing lane. What is the safest response?
Two snowplows occupy the same-direction lanes in a staggered operation. Blue car A follows on the winter road; no clear passing lane is shown.
Correct answer: Slow down and stay well back instead of trying to pass between them.
Why
Be patient around road-maintenance vehicles. Slow down, leave plenty of room and avoid passing working snowplows when there is no clear safe lane. Snow spray can hide road conditions, while the vehicles and their equipment need space to work. Do not weave through the operation.
