Passing target: 80% (52/65)
On a two-lane rural highway with a 55 mph limit, you come up behind a farm tractor that moves at about 15 mph. A solid yellow line on your side marks a no-passing zone for the next mile. What should you do?
A approaches a slow farm tractor on a two-way road. The yellow center line on A’s side is solid; no pass or waiting instruction is selected.
Correct answer: Stay back at a safe distance, because the no-passing rule also covers a slow tractor.
Why
Farm equipment moves slowly, often at 25 mph or less, and it may have no brake lights or turn signals. Its operator may not see or hear other traffic well. Slow down early, keep a safe distance, and do not honk, because the noise can frighten animals. Farm machinery is not an exception to the no-passing rule, even when it moves very slowly, so wait for a legal and safe place to pass.
