Q: Identify the correct option by considering the given statements with respect to overtaking sight distance. Statement A: Minimum overtaking sight distance required for the safe overtaking manoeuvre depends on skill and reaction time of driver. Statement B: Minimum overtaking sight distance required for the safe overtaking manoeuvre depends on gradient of road.
  • A. Both the statements are incorrect
  • B. Statement B is correct, but A is incorrect
  • C. Statement A is correct, but B is incorrect
  • D. (d) Both the statements are correct
Correct Answer: Option D - Overtaking sight distance–It is the distance required for a moving vehicle to overtake and safety pass another vehicle moving in the same direction but at a lower speed. The minimum distance a head to be clear to permit safe passing. • Minimum overtaking sight distance required for the safe overtaking manoeuvre depend on skill reaction time of driver and gradient of road.
