Sample question from test 9
signals-markings
On a Massachusetts road, why must you never pass on a curve or at the crest of a hill?
- Because passing there is always allowed if you signal
- Because you and other drivers cannot see far enough ahead, the manual uses 500 feet for U-turns as the standard
- Because the speed limit drops automatically
- Because the road narrows
Answer: Because you and other drivers cannot see far enough ahead, the manual uses 500 feet for U-turns as the standard. Curves and hill crests hide oncoming traffic. The manual uses the same 500 foot visibility idea for U-turns: do not turn where you or other drivers cannot see 500 feet, and a pass into a blind stretch has the same problem, an oncoming car that appears when you are committed to the wrong lane. Signaling does not create sight distance, speed limits do not change on their own, and width is not the issue. Wait for a straight, open stretch.
