You are driving along a two-way road and come across a stationary refuse collection vehicle blocking your side of the carriageway. Just ahead of the vehicle, the road curves into a sharp blind bend. What is the safest course of action to take?

  1. A
    Pull out slightly into the oncoming lane and maintain speed to see past the obstruction.
  2. Hold back behind the stationary vehicle and wait until you have a completely clear view ahead before overtaking.Cevap
  3. C
    Sound your horn repeatedly and overtake quickly before any oncoming vehicles appear.
  4. D
    Flash your headlights to warn oncoming drivers that you are claiming priority through the gap.

Cevap

Hold back behind the stationary vehicle and wait until you have a completely clear view ahead before overtaking.
When a stationary obstruction blocks your side of the carriageway immediately before a blind bend, your forward view is severely restricted. You must hold back behind the obstruction and only overtake when you can clearly see that the road ahead is clear and it is safe to do so.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the static hazard on your side of the road and recognize that the blind bend severely restricts your forward view of oncoming traffic.
Awareness that overtaking immediately would mean driving into an opposing lane without knowing if it is clear.
Safe driving requires knowing that the path ahead is entirely clear before committing to an overtaking manoeuvre.
2
Drop back to a safe following position behind the stationary vehicle.
Your vehicle remains safely on the left while giving you a wider viewing angle around the obstruction.
Hanging back increases your field of vision and prevents blocking oncoming traffic if a vehicle appears around the bend.
3
Wait patiently until the view around the bend is clear and no oncoming traffic is approaching before moving out.
The obstruction is passed safely without creating a hazard for other road users.
Drivers must never overtake a stationary obstruction unless they are certain the manoeuvre can be completed safely.
