When is it permitted to pass more than one vehicle during one overtaking maneuver?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Safety
- It is permitted in a straight and level roadway only, and prohibited in any other type of road.
- Never: You are lawfully obliged to overtake only one vehicle during an overtaking maneuver, and to return to the right lane.
- When overtaking is not restricted, and there is enough space in the overtaking lane for safe completion of the overtaking maneuver.
- It is permitted when you overtake small vehicles only, and prohibited when you overtake big vehicles.
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.
