Reglas sobre adelantar vehículos en Carolina del Norte

Explicación Simple

Si estás manejando y ves un letrero que dice que no puedes adelantar, debes seguir esa regla. Solo puedes adelantar a bicicletas o mopeds si mantienes una distancia segura y el otro vehículo no está girando a la izquierda.

Es como cuando intentas pasar a alguien en una fila, pero hay un letrero que dice 'No pasar'. Si la persona está a punto de moverse en otra dirección, es mejor esperar a que se mueva antes de intentar pasar.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está manejando detrás de una bicicleta en una carretera. Ve un letrero que dice 'No adelantar aquí', pero decide que puede hacerlo porque la bicicleta se mueve lentamente. Juan se asegura de dejar al menos cuatro pies de distancia y no intenta pasar si la bicicleta está señalizando que va a girar a la izquierda.

Penalidades

Las violaciones pueden resultar en multas o sanciones, dependiendo de la gravedad de la infracción.
