Question about driver's ed. driving question?

Question

You are driving 55 mph on a two-lane highway, one lane in each direction, and want to pass the car ahead of you. To pass safely, you need to:

a)Wait until solid double yellow lines separate the lanes

b)Increase your speed to 65 mph

c)Have at least a 10 t0 12 second gap in the oncoming traffic

if you can, provide your source, a CREDIBLE SITE would be great :D thanks!

Answer 1

You definitely cannot pass on a double yellow line. If you increase your speed without anywhere to go, you could rear-end the person in front of you. If there's a gap in oncoming traffic, and you have enough time to accelerate, pass the car safely, and drive in front of it, while maintaining a reasonable speed. Don't attempt this on a curve, in less than ideal weather, or if you can't see far enough ahead. The dashed or dotted lines indicate that you may pass; the side of the road with the dashes is the side that may pass. Double yellow lines can never be crossed.

Answer 2

The answer is definitely C.

A is wrong because solid double lines mean NO passing.

B is wrong because if you speed up to 65, you will only hit the car in front of, or a car going the opposite direction.

C is right because you need at least 10-12 seconds to safely get over into the other lane and pass the car without hitting oncoming traffic.

Answer 3

It's C) Have at least 10 to 12 second gap in the oncoming traffic.

It can't be A because you're not allowed to cross solid double yellow lines, so you can't wait for them to come up.

It can't be B because "technically" you are not allowed to go pass the speed limit, even when passing people.

It has to be C because you need at least 10 seconds (A clear view of at least 300-500 feet) ahead of you in order for you to successfully pass someone without crashing or making conflict.

Hope this helped!  :)
