Practice question

Drivers must pass to the left of a vehicle traveling in the same direction. Is this statement true or false?

  1. True
  2. False
  3. Only in urban areas
  4. Only on highways

Answer: A — True

The statement is true. In South Korea, as in many other countries, drivers are required to pass to the left of a vehicle traveling in the same direction. This rule is in place to ensure that overtaking is done safely and with visibility of oncoming traffic. When a driver wishes to pass another vehicle, they will typically use the left lane, which is designated for such maneuvers. This practice not only helps maintain the flow of traffic but also minimizes the risk of accidents that can occur when vehicles are being overtaken. Following this rule is essential for all drivers, regardless of whether they are in urban areas or on highways, as it contributes to overall road safety and efficient traffic movement.
