Zorluk: KolayMoving Hazards

You are following a long articulated lorry that is indicating to turn left into a narrow road, but it moves out to the right before turning. What should you do?

  1. Stay well back and wait for the lorry to complete its turnCevap
  2. B
    Overtake the lorry on the left using the open space
  3. C
    Flash your headlights to instruct the driver to keep to the left
  4. D
    Accelerate close behind the lorry to pass it quickly while it swings out

Cevap

Stay well back and allow the lorry enough space and time to complete its turn.
Long articulated vehicles require extra road space to navigate tight corners and often need to swing out in the opposite direction before turning. Staying well back gives the driver room to manoeuvre safely and keeps your vehicle clearly visible in their mirrors.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the dynamic hazard and the vehicle's turning requirements.
Recognise that long vehicles must swing out right to negotiate tight left turns without clipping the kerb.
Articulated vehicles have a wide turning circle and severe rear-wheel cut-in.
2
Determine the appropriate defensive driving response.
Maintain a safe following distance and hold your position behind the lorry.
Staying back ensures you remain visible in the driver's mirrors and outside the sweep of the trailer.
