What should the driver do when driving behind a vehicle that is going from side to side on the road in an unsafe manner?

A.The driver should signal and go around to the right of the vehicle.
B.The driver should stay well back in a safe position.
C.The driver should drive close behind the vehicle with a view to overtaking.
D.The driver should signal and go around to the left of the vehicle.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. The driver should stay well back in a safe position.

You should always be prepared to react to hazards ahead. If the vehicle in front is moving from side to side, it may indicate that the driver is not paying full attention or that their driving is impaired by drink, drugs or tiredness. If you think the vehicle is a risk to the public safety, the matter should be reported to the Gardaí or to traffic watch (lo-call 1890 205 805), but not while driving.
