Question 201 · Car theory test
What should a driver do when driving on a wide road behind a vehicle that has signalled to turn right ahead?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Overtake on the left-hand side and carry on if safe to do so.
Official explanation
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.
