On a road with one lane each way, truck A ahead is moving very slowly. The centerline is a solid double yellow line. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight behind truck A
- Solid double yellow centerline
- Car B is approaching from the opposite direction
- One lane in each direction
A solid yellow centerline may not be crossed, and overtaking is done only on the left of the vehicle ahead (Articles 13(3) and 21(1) of the Road Traffic Act). An empty opposite lane does not change what the solid line means, and behind a large truck you should also think about distance for visibility.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
Vehicles must keep to the right of the centerline (Road Traffic Act Article 13(3)), and a solid yellow centerline means vehicles must not cross it (Enforcement Rule, Annex 6). So even if the opposite lane is empty you may not cross it to overtake, and since overtaking must be done on the left of the vehicle ahead, you may not pass on the right either (Article 21(1)). Keep enough distance to avoid a collision if the vehicle ahead stops suddenly (Article 19(1)); behind a large truck, a longer gap also gives you a better view.
