Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Safety
- That the overtaking vehicle is delayed as a result of the slow driving of the vehicle in front.
- There are no conditions that justify an overtaking.
- That the difference in speed between the overtaking and the overtaken vehicles is sufficient to complete the manouver.
- That the overtaken vehicle drives slower than the maximum statutory speed.
Why this matters beyond the test: When overtaking is prohibited and what counts as a safe passing distance -- the rules behind one of the highest-risk maneuvers a driver makes on any two-way road.
