Funeral procession other drivers — Montana Permit Test
Funeral procession other drivers on the Montana permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
A driver not in a funeral procession may not drive between its vehicles while it is moving, unless a police officer authorizes it or the driver is in an emergency vehicle.
A car squeezing into the line forces mourners following closely to brake hard.
The driver of a vehicle that is not part of a funeral procession cannot drive between the vehicles forming the procession while the procession is in motion unless the driver is authorized to do so by a police officer, or is driving an emergency vehicle.
A driver may not join a funeral procession to get the right-of-way the procession enjoys.
A stranger tagging on runs the red light with the line, where cross traffic is not expecting one more car.
A driver may not join a funeral procession to secure the right-of-way that the procession enjoys or pass a procession on a multiple-lane highway on the procession’s right side unless the procession is in the farthest left lane.
On a multiple-lane highway, you may not pass a funeral procession on its right side unless the procession is in the farthest left lane.
Cars in a procession may move right to turn off, straight into a driver going by on that side.
A driver may not join a funeral procession to secure the right-of-way that the procession enjoys or pass a procession on a multiple-lane highway on the procession’s right side unless the procession is in the farthest left lane.
When a funeral procession is going through a red light, a driver not in it may not enter the intersection unless they can do so without crossing the procession's path.
Cross traffic with a green light would drive right into the mourners' line.
In addition, the driver of a vehicle not part of a procession may not enter an intersection when a funeral procession is proceeding through a red traffic-control device unless that driver can do so without crossing the path of the funeral procession.
On the test
Who may drive between the cars of a moving funeral procession?
A driver a police officer allows. A car squeezing into the line forces mourners following closely to brake hard. Montana Driver Manual, p.42: “The driver of a vehicle that is not part of a funeral procession cannot drive between the vehicles forming the procession while the procession is in motion unless the driver is authorized to do so by a police officer, or is driving an emergency vehicle.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
