Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
A driver should maintain their position in the queue.
Official explanation
Always read the road ahead and be prepared to react to any traffic situation. From time to time, you may have to queue in traffic. In this situation, you should try to remain patient and considerate of other road users. Jumping the queue is inconsiderate; it could be dangerous, and it could even provoke a road rage incident or cause a collision.
