What is the minimum distance you must see ahead on a curve or hill before passing?

300 feet
500 feet
700 feet
1000 feet

The correct answer is: 700 feet

The minimum distance you must see ahead on a curve or hill before attempting to pass is 700 feet. This requirement ensures that you have adequate visibility of oncoming traffic and any potential hazards that may arise from vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Passing on a curve or hill can be particularly dangerous because these areas often limit your sight distance and create uncertainty about whether it's safe to complete the maneuver. Prioritizing safety, the law mandates this distance to promote better decision-making while driving. By ensuring that you can see 700 feet ahead, you enhance your chances of executing a safe and successful pass. This distance helps to account for variables like speed of vehicles, road conditions, and the time it takes to overtake, contributing to overall road safety for everyone.
