Traffic order and driving through intersectionsQuestion #15827
You are driving behind a vehicle whose speed must not exceed 40 km/h, outside a built-up area. What duty does that vehicle's driver have towards you?
Explanation
Outside built-up areas the rules give drivers of slow vehicles a special duty: they must keep enough of a gap to the vehicle ahead so that anyone overtaking them can safely pull back into their lane.
KET reference: KET 121 p.: outside built-up areas, drivers of vehicles limited to 40 km/h must keep enough of a gap from the vehicle ahead that overtaking vehicles can pull back to the right side of the road without difficulty.
