Ch. 5 · 第２節 自動車の通行するところ
On mountain roads, the shoulder may be prone to collapse, so when passing oncoming vehicles, it is best to pull over as close as possible to the shoulder to ensure a wide gap with the oncoming vehicle.
[True / False · Medium]
Answer: False
Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that on mountain roads, the shoulder may be prone to collapse, so when passing oncoming vehicles, you should be careful not to pull over too close to the shoulder. Pulling over too close poses a risk of falling or running off the road, so "pull over as close as possible" is incorrect.
