Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. When overtaking a vehicle in the left-hand lane.

You must normally drive in the left-hand lane of a dual carriageway. You should not use the right-hand lane as a driving lane. You may use the right-hand lane when overtaking or when intending to turn right a short distance ahead.
