You are following a two-wheeled vehicle (A) in lane 2 of a road with two lanes in each direction. There are no other vehicles in lane 1. Which TWO are correct ways to drive? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- Two-wheeled vehicle (A) is just ahead, going the same direction
- No other vehicles in lane 1
When following, keep a distance that lets you avoid the vehicle ahead if it stops suddenly, and overtake on its left (Articles 19(1) and 21(1) of the Road Traffic Act). A two-wheeled vehicle may swerve suddenly even for a pothole, so thinking 'it is small, so following closely is fine' is a trap.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
When following a vehicle you must keep enough distance to avoid a collision if it stops suddenly (Road Traffic Act Article 19(1)). A two-wheeled vehicle is sensitive to road conditions and may swerve or stop quickly, so you need even more distance, not less. Overtaking must be done on the left of the vehicle ahead (Article 21(1)) with a turn signal before changing lanes (Article 38(1)), so squeezing past on the right or tailgating to hurry it is wrong.
