How is a driver required to conduct himself when a vehicle stops before him on approaching a pedestrian crossing?
Official question from the Israeli Ministry of Transport pool · Category: Rules and Regulations
- He is prohibited from overtaking the vehicle that stopped before the crossing.
- He is permitted to overtake if the pedestrian crossing has a traffic light.
- He is permitted to overtake the vehicle that stopped before the crossing.
- He is prohibited to overtake the other vehicle on an urban road only.
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.
