New Hampshire Drivers Practice Test

Passing another vehicle within 100 feet of a bridge or tunnel is prohibited because this area poses unique risks and challenges for drivers. Bridges and tunnels can create limited visibility and unexpected traffic conditions, increasing the likelihood of accidents. The regulation is designed to ensure that drivers maintain a safe distance from these potentially hazardous areas, allowing for better reaction time to unforeseen circumstances, such as sudden stops or the presence of pedestrians. Maintaining this distance helps improve overall road safety and reduces the chances of collisions in these critical zones.
