The task was proposed by Avtostop.
Answer options
- With course A.
- With course B.
- With course C.
- With courses B and C.
- All courses are allowed.
- With course A, if the truck is driving at less than 30 km/h.
- All courses are prohibited.
Task Analysis
At the intersection point, the driver of the green car intends to overtake the truck. Three courses are offered to him.
According to point StVO 14.6, overtaking at intersections is prohibited, therefore courses B and C are prohibited. Additionally, there is a traffic sign at the intersection 4.1 'Drive straight', which only allows the specified direction. This means that course C, which indicates a left turn, is additionally prohibited by the traffic sign.
When overtaking according to course A, the driver of the green vehicle has crossed the narrow solid line Marking sign 1.1, which contradicts the rules. However, there is an exception:
'As an exception, provided that traffic safety is ensured, it is allowed to cross line 1.1 to avoid a stationary obstacle, the sizes of which do not allow a safe detour without crossing this line, as well as when overtaking individual vehicles driving at less than 30 km/h.'
Thus, the driver of the green car overtakes the slow truck and manages to return safely to his lane before the intersection.
