  4. D
    Reverse into the main road at speed to clear the path for passing cyclists

Cevap

The safest approach is to reverse into the driveway so you can drive forwards when joining the busy road.
According to the Highway Code (Rule 201), when using a driveway adjoining a busy road, you should reverse in and drive out if you can. Driving out forwards gives you a much clearer view of both directions, allowing you to see oncoming vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians before joining the main carriageway.
