Roads & carriageways

You are driving on a narrow dike road near Waardenburg behind a slow tractor. The verge slopes away and further ahead a car is coming up onto the dike at an angle from a small side road. What do you do?

You stay behind the tractor and watch the car coming up onto the dike with poor visibility
You overtake the tractor now; such a dike is high, but otherwise just as safe as any road
You overtake and, if needed, swerve onto the sloping verge if that car comes onto the road

Explanation

False — the sloping verge is not an escape space. On a dike road the verges are not suitable for swerving safely, so you cannot count on them (Book p.69).
