  1. A.Try to overtake it so as not to inconvenience traffic behind.
  2. B.Stop and stay back safely and wait until the way is clear.
  3. C.Sound the horn to indicate to the driver of the truck to stop.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. Stop and stay back safely and wait until the way is clear.

Always read the road ahead and be prepared to react to any traffic situation. You should be aware of the difficulties that drivers of large vehicles can have reversing into a side entrance. In this case, a large vehicle reversing could obstruct your view of the road ahead as you approach, and you should afford the truck driver adequate space to manoeuvre.
