You have overtaken a slower lorry on a dual carriageway motorway. In what sequence should you carry out the actions required to return safely to Lane 1?
- 1Check your interior and left door mirrors to ensure sufficient clearance ahead of the overtaken vehicle.
- 2Signal left in good time to communicate your intention to return to the driving lane.
- 3Steer smoothly across into Lane 1 once a safe distance has been established.
- 4Cancel your direction indicator once safely positioned within Lane 1.
Cevap
The correct sequence is: Check interior and left door mirrors, signal left in good time, steer smoothly into Lane 1, and cancel the indicator once positioned.
According to the Highway Code, after completing an overtaking manoeuvre, drivers must return to Lane 1 as soon as it is safe. The correct sequence follows the standard Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) protocol: first verify clear space in the interior and left door mirrors, signal left to alert other road users, move smoothly into the leftmost lane, and finally cancel the indicator.
