When passing, it is illegal to come within how many feet of an oncoming vehicle?

• A. 100 feet
• B. 200 feet
• C. 300 feet
• D. 400 feet

Answer: (B)

When you’re passing, you must leave enough space for a safe maneuver in case the oncoming driver changes speed or suddenly appears. The legal minimum distance is two hundred feet. This gap gives you time to judge the approach, complete the pass, and return to your lane before the other vehicle is close enough to pose a risk. A hundred feet is generally not enough reaction time, while three hundred or four hundred feet exceed the standard requirement and aren’t the baseline rule being tested here.
