When is it permitted to overtake another vehicle?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- Only when the overtaken vehicle is a slow vehicle.
- Only if the driver of the overtaken vehicle gives a signal to the driver of the overtaking vehicle.
- Only when the overtaken vehicle is a motorcycle.
- When the road is clear and you can overtake safely without causing danger to any other road user.
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.
