  4. D
    Motorcyclists are required to sound their horn before entering another vehicle's blind spot

Cevap

Motorcyclists may be filtering through slow-moving traffic and can be hidden from mirror view
In queuing or slow-moving traffic on multi-lane roads, motorcyclists frequently filter between lines of vehicles. Because motorcycles are narrow, they can easily disappear into a driver's blind spot and cannot always be seen in mirrors alone. A shoulder check ensures the space is clear before altering course.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the traffic flow and the movement patterns of vulnerable road users in multi-lane traffic.
Identify that motorcyclists are permitted to filter between queues of slow-moving or stationary vehicles.
Filtering allows two-wheeled vehicles to make progress safely through congestion.
2
Evaluate the limitations of vehicle mirrors before undertaking a manoeuvre.
Recognise that a narrow motorcycle filtering between lanes can easily sit within the vehicle's blind spot.
A physical shoulder check confirms the blind area is clear before turning or crossing lane markings.
