When approaching a hill or curve, what is the passing distance you should consider?

  1. 1/4 of a mile

  2. 1/3 of a mile

  3. 1/2 of a mile

  4. 1 mile

The correct answer is: 1/3 of a mile

When approaching a hill or curve, it is important to consider the passing distance in advance for safety reasons. The correct answer is 1/3 of a mile. This distance allows you to have enough visibility of the road ahead to safely pass another vehicle without risking a collision with oncoming traffic. Option A (1/4 of a mile) might not provide sufficient distance to assess the road conditions ahead before passing, while options C (1/2 of a mile) and D (1 mile) could be excessive and unnecessary in most situations. Therefore, the most appropriate passing distance to consider when approaching a hill or curve is 1/3 of a mile.
