You are driving on a dual carriageway approaching a multi-lane roundabout, intending to take the first exit to the left. The road markings indicate that the left-hand lane is for turning left, and the right-hand lane is for proceeding straight ahead or turning right. Ahead of you, an articulated Large Goods Vehicle (LGV) is positioned in the right-hand lane, but its left indicator is flashing. The left-hand lane is currently completely clear. What is the safest and most appropriate application of lane discipline and positioning in this situation?
- Remain well back in the left-hand lane and allow the LGV plenty of room to negotiate the turn, as it will likely need to swing across your lane.Cevap
- BContinue normally in the left-hand lane to pass the LGV on the inside, since your lane is completely clear and dedicated to left-turning traffic.
- CMove into the right-hand lane behind the LGV and prepare to take the first exit from that lane, matching the positioning of the large vehicle ahead.
- DQuickly check your mirrors and change into the right-hand lane to overtake the LGV, completing the manoeuvre before reaching the roundabout give-way line.
Cevap
Remain well back in the left-hand lane and allow the LGV plenty of room to negotiate the turn, as it will likely need to swing across your lane.
Large Goods Vehicles (LGVs) have a wide turning circle and long trailers that 'cut in' during tight turns. To avoid mounting the left-hand kerb at a roundabout, they often approach from the right-hand lane before turning left. The correct procedure is to maintain lane discipline by staying in the left lane, but hanging well back to give them the space they need, rather than risking being crushed by passing on the inside.
