Safe drivingQuestion 305 of 328

Several snow plows work side by side across a freeway. What should you do?

  1. Pass between the plows quickly
  2. Pass on the shoulder
  3. Follow closely in the gap
  4. Stay behind them and do not pass between them
Show answer

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

The plows leave too little room. The snow ridge between them can make you lose control.
