On a country road near Winterswijk you are driving behind a tractor with a high-loaded beet trailer. A little later, on the same stretch of road, you pass a horse rider. What do you do?
Tractor: wait until there is really free space. Rider: slow down, distance does not matter
Tractor: overtake at a short gap. Rider: slow down and keep 1.5 m distance
Tractor: wait until there is really free space. Rider: slow down and keep 1.5 m distance
Explanation
False — a short gap is not enough. Behind a tractor with a high load you know for sure the driver does not see you; wait patiently until there is really free space to overtake (Book p.131).
