Practice question

When passing another vehicle, how many feet should you pass?

  1. At least 15 feet
  2. At least 20 feet
  3. At least 25 feet
  4. At least 30 feet

Answer: B — At least 20 feet

When passing another vehicle, it is important to maintain a safe distance between your car and the other vehicle. While option A states "at least 15 feet," this may not provide enough space in case of sudden braking or changes in traffic. Option C suggests a distance of "at least 25 feet," but this may be excessive and potentially dangerous if multiple lanes of traffic are present. Similarly, option D states "at least 30 feet," which could also be excessive and potentially cause confusion for other drivers on the road. Option B, which suggests "at least 20 feet," strikes a good balance between safety and practicality when passing another vehicle.
