While driving behind a motorcyclist on a multi-lane road, you notice the rider take a quick glance over their right shoulder. What is this action most likely to indicate?

  1. A
    The rider is giving a signal for following traffic to overtake
  2. The rider is planning to change direction or change lanesCevap
  3. C
    The rider is checking for static hazards along the left-hand kerb
  4. D
    The rider is compensating for reduced braking distance on a wet road

Cevap

The rider is planning to change direction or change lanes.
Under Highway Code Rule 212, when following motorcyclists, drivers should be aware that a glance over the shoulder usually means the rider is preparing to make a manoeuvre, such as turning, overtaking, or changing lanes. This is often referred to as a 'lifesaver' check to ensure their blind spot is clear before moving.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the motorcyclist's physical observation cue
The rider is performing a rear shoulder check over their right shoulder into their blind spot.
According to Highway Code Rule 212, a motorcyclist glancing over their shoulder often precedes a change in course or direction.
2
Anticipate the impending manoeuvre and adjust driving
Anticipate that the rider may move right, overtake, or turn, and ensure sufficient following distance is maintained.
Recognising early hazard cues from vulnerable road users allows drivers to react safely and avoid collisions.
