Sharing the roadQuestion 194 of 296

Snow plows work side by side across a highway, one behind the other. What should you do?

  1. Pass between them when the road is clear
  2. Stay behind them and do not try to pass between them
  3. Pass on the right at high speed
  4. Follow very close to use the cleared lane
Show answer

Correct answer: Stay behind them and do not try to pass between them

There is not enough room between plows, and the ridge of wet snow can throw your car out of control.
