You are driving on a two-way road and in front of you drives a vehicle that signals with its left indicator:
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Safety
- You may immediately overtake it from its right, by pulling into the “hard shoulder”.
- You should take into consideration that the vehicle before you might deviate to the left and you should allow it to do so.
- You shouldn’t overtake it on a narrow roadway, but you may overtake it from its left side on a wide road.
- You may overtake after using the horn to warn him. The signal he gives doesn’t oblige you.
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.
