Northern Territory · Driver Knowledge Test · Road rules

What should you allow for when overtaking a road train in the NT?

The answer

  • The same space as a car
  • Much more clear road than for a car — road trains can be over 50 m long Correct
  • Overtake on the left
  • Sound your horn continuously

Why that's the answer

Road trains can be more than 50 metres long. You need a much longer clear stretch than for overtaking a car — if in doubt, wait.
