Question

You cannot pass safely on a two-way, two-lane street unless:

1) There is no oncoming traffic
2) You have a clear view of the road ahead
3) You are driving at a safe speed
4) Both A and B

Answer 1

To pass safely on a two-way, two-lane street you need both a clear view of the road and no oncoming traffic. Driving at a regulated speed is also crucial, but not the only factor for safe passing. Ensure enough distance for crossing or overtaking based on observed vehicle speeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot pass safely on a two-way, two-lane street unless:

1. There is no oncoming traffic.
2. You have a clear view of the road ahead.
3. You are driving at a safe speed. The correct answer is options A and B, which means that you need a clear view of the road and no oncoming traffic to pass safely. Driving at a safe speed is also important, but it is not sufficient by itself to ensure a safe pass. Additionally, you must consider the speed at which the vehicles on the street are moving and ensure there is enough distance to cross or overtake without causing an accident. For example, if a car is traveling at the speed limit of 60 km/h, you need to ensure that you are able to cross safely by walking at least 4 meters before the car reaches you. Using Bridget's observation from her classroom window, if vehicles normally cover the distance between two poles 50 meters apart in 3 seconds, it indicates that they are traveling at a speed where you should be careful and judge the distance correctly when trying to pass or cross the street.
