Driving in lane 2 of a two-lane road, you end up beside and just behind the right side of a large truck (A) in lane 1. A turns on its right turn signal. Which TWO are the safest actions? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is driving in lane 2
- Large truck (A) in lane 1 is ahead to your left
- A has turned on its right turn signal
💡 Hint
A large truck is tall and long, so its driver has wide blind spots, especially along the right side (Article 48(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Be suspicious of assuming the other driver has seen you, and of any move that breaks the rule on which side to overtake (Article 21(1)).
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
A large truck is tall and long, so its blind spots are wide, especially along its right side and rear. Drivers must drive in a way that does not endanger others (Road Traffic Act Article 48(1)), so it is safest to slow down, get out of the blind spot and give A room to change lanes. Overtaking must be done on the left of the vehicle ahead (Article 21(1)), so accelerating past on the right is wrong.
