New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

You are approaching a crest and want to overtake the slow vehicle ahead. What must you do?

The answer

  • Overtake quickly before reaching the crest
  • Not overtake — you must have a clear view of approaching traffic Correct
  • Overtake while sounding your horn
  • Overtake if the dividing line is broken

Why that's the answer

You must not overtake when you do not have a clear view of approaching traffic — for example before a crest or curve, or wherever visibility is limited. If you have any doubts, wait until it is safer.
