In lane 2 of a three-lane road, you are following directly behind a large truck (A) as you approach a signalized intersection. The truck blocks your view of the traffic light and the road ahead. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 2, going straight
- Large truck (A) directly ahead blocks your view
- The light is currently green
Drivers must follow the traffic light themselves (Article 5(1) of the Road Traffic Act), and behind a large vehicle you need extra distance to see the light and the road ahead (Article 19(1)). Also consider that following the vehicle ahead into the intersection may leave you stopped inside, blocking traffic (Article 25(5)).
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
When following a vehicle you must keep enough distance to avoid a collision if it stops suddenly (Road Traffic Act Article 19(1)); behind a large vehicle you need even more distance to see the light and the road ahead. Drivers must obey the signals (Article 5(1)), so check the light yourself rather than following the truck in. Tailgating into the intersection can leave you stopped inside it, blocking others (Article 25(5)), and suddenly overtaking on the right is also dangerous.
