  1. A.Maintain course and sound the horn to alert the e-scooter of their approach.
  2. B.Expect the e-scooter to keep to the left and maintain speed.
  3. C.Allow extra clearance in case the e-scooter swerves to avoid a pothole.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Allow extra clearance in case the e-scooter swerves to avoid a pothole.

You should always be aware of how vulnerable e-scooters are. When you are driving on a road with potholes or bad surfaces, give plenty of clearance to the e-scooters when overtaking them. Take into account that they may swerve suddenly to avoid potholes.
