What should a driver do when driving on a wide road behind a vehicle that has signalled to turn right ahead?

  1. A.Overtake on the left-hand side and carry on if safe to do so.
  2. B.Overtake on the right-hand side and carry on.
  3. C.Overtake on the left, but only if turning left a short distance ahead.
  4. D.Stay behind and tap the brakes to signal other drivers to slow down.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. Overtake on the left-hand side and carry on if safe to do so.

You may overtake on the left when the driver in front has moved out and signalled their intent to turn right and you intend to go straight ahead, provided there is enough room to do so safely and your path will not be obstructed by the swing of a large vehicle turning right.
