On a road marked with double white lines where the line nearest to your vehicle is solid, you are permitted to cross the solid line to overtake a pedal cycle travelling at 10 mph or less, provided the manoeuvre can be completed safely.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: True

Cevap

True
The statement is correct because Highway Code Rule 129 explicitly allows drivers to cross or straddle a solid white line on their side of the road to pass a pedal cycle, horse rider, or road maintenance vehicle moving at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, or to pass a stationary vehicle, as long as the road is clear and it is safe to do so.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary legal restriction for double white lines where the nearest line is solid.
Highway Code Rule 129 states that drivers must not cross or straddle a continuous white line on their side of the carriageway as a general rule.
Establishing the standard prohibition creates the legal baseline for evaluating exemptions.
2
Assess the statutory exemptions permitted under Rule 129.
Drivers may cross the solid line if safe to enter adjoining premises, turn into a side road, pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse, or road maintenance vehicle moving at 10 mph or less.
Exemptions prevent unreasonable and hazardous congestion behind exceptionally slow or stationary obstructions.
3
Apply the exemption criteria to the situation described in the statement.
The statement specifies overtaking a pedal cycle travelling at 10 mph or less when safe, which matches the exact legal exception in Rule 129.
Matching the condition to the legal rule confirms the statement is true.

You are following a long articulated lorry on a single carriageway. As the lorry approaches a narrow side road on the left, the driver signals left but moves over towards the centre line. What should you do?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Stay well back behind the lorry and allow it to complete the turn before proceeding

Cevap

Stay well back behind the lorry and allow it to complete the turn before proceeding.
Long articulated vehicles need extra road space to manoeuvre around tight corners. When turning left into a narrow road, the driver must swing out towards the centre line to prevent the rear wheels mounting the pavement. Under Highway Code Rule 167, drivers must never try to overtake on the left or push past on the right; they must stay well back and wait patiently until the turn is fully completed.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyse the vehicle type, signal, and road position.
The vehicle ahead is a long articulated lorry signalling left but moving right towards the centre line.
Long vehicles have a large swept path and need to swing out wide to clear the kerb and corner radius when turning into narrow junctions.
2
Evaluate the risks of overtaking on either side.
Passing on the left risks being crushed by the trailer off-tracking, while overtaking on the right creates conflict with oncoming traffic or the cab's turning path.
According to Highway Code Rule 167, drivers must not attempt to overtake a vehicle that is indicating to turn left and has moved to the right to make the turn.
3
Determine the required driver action.
Hold back safely at an appropriate distance behind the lorry.
Keeping a safe distance maintains full visibility, keeps you out of the driver's blind spots, and allows the lorry sufficient room to finish the manoeuvre safely.

Approaching a signal-controlled intersection marked with a yellow box, you intend to turn right. The traffic light is green, your intended exit road is completely clear, but oncoming traffic is actively flowing towards the junction. An oncoming motorist briefly flashes their headlights. Which course of action should you take?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Drive into the yellow box and wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic before completing the turn.

Cevap

Drive into the yellow box and wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic before completing the turn.
According to Highway Code Rule 174, drivers must not enter a box junction unless their exit road is clear. However, there is a specific exception: you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right and are only prevented from doing so by oncoming traffic or other vehicles waiting to turn right. Because the intended exit road is clear and the traffic signal is green, moving into the box to wait for a safe gap is the correct procedure. Flashing headlights from oncoming drivers should never be taken as a signal of priority.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the junction layout and exit road status
Confirm that the traffic signal is green and the right-turn exit road is clear of obstructions.
Highway Code Rule 174 permits entering a box junction if turning right and the exit lane is clear.
2
Move forward into the junction and position within the yellow box
The vehicle is positioned safely to execute the turn once oncoming traffic clears.
Waiting inside the box prevents unnecessary obstruction behind and allows prompt clearance when a gap appears.
3
Evaluate oncoming traffic and ignore assumptions about flashing headlights
Do not treat flashed headlights as priority; wait for a genuine, safe gap while checking for filtering road users.
Highway Code Rule 110 states flashing headlights only let other road users know you are there.

An overhead gantry sign indicates that your current lane is closed ahead due to roadworks, requiring you to move into the adjacent offside lane. Arrange the following actions in the correct chronological order to complete this lane change safely according to the Highway Code.

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct sequence begins with checking the interior and offside mirrors, followed by checking the offside blind spot, then signalling right in good time, smoothly steering into the target lane, and finally cancelling the indicator while establishing a safe following distance.
Safe lane discipline and positioning when responding to an overhead lane closure strictly follow the Mirrors–Signal–Manoeuvre routine. First, the driver must check interior and door mirrors to understand traffic flow in the target lane. Second, a quick shoulder check must be made to cover the blind spot. Third, a right signal is applied in good time to warn other drivers. Fourth, the driver moves smoothly into the available gap. Finally, the indicator is cancelled and appropriate following distances are restored.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Check rear-view and offside exterior mirrors.
Assesses the speed, distance, and approach rate of vehicles in the adjacent offside lane.
Highway Code Rule 133 requires all manoeuvres to begin with mirror observation to evaluate surrounding traffic.
2
Perform a quick shoulder check into the offside blind spot.
Ensures no vehicle, cyclist, or motorcyclist is positioned in the unviewable area alongside your vehicle.
Mirrors alone do not eliminate blind spots; a direct glance confirms it is safe before signalling.
3
Apply the right-turn direction indicator.
Gives clear, unambiguous notice to drivers behind and in the adjacent lane of your planned move.
Signalling must precede the physical lane change so other road users have sufficient time to react and accommodate the merge.
4
Steer smoothly across into the open lane.
Positions your vehicle safely in the new lane without causing disruption or sudden braking to following traffic.
Executes the manoeuvre into an identified, safe gap in accordance with lane discipline rules.
5
Cancel the indicator and re-establish a safe separation gap.
Prevents misleading following drivers and ensures the required two-second gap is maintained.
Leaving an indicator running after completing a lane change creates confusion and potential hazards.

You are driving along a single-carriageway road marked with double white lines in the centre, where the line closest to your vehicle is solid. Under the UK Highway Code, in which of the following situations are you legally permitted to cross this solid white line to overtake?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: When overtaking a pedal cycle, horse rider, or road maintenance vehicle travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, provided it is safe to do so

Cevap

You are legally permitted to cross the solid white line only when overtaking a pedal cycle, horse rider, or road maintenance vehicle travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, provided the manoeuvre is safe.
Under Highway Code Rule 129, you MUST NOT cross or straddle double white lines where the line nearest you is solid, except when entering premises, passing a stationary obstruction, or overtaking a pedal cycle, horse, or road maintenance vehicle travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less when it is safe to do so.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the regulatory meaning of double white lines where the line nearest to you is solid.
Highway Code Rule 129 prohibits crossing or straddling a continuous solid line on your side, subject to strictly defined legal exceptions.
Solid centre lines indicate limited forward visibility or high-risk overtaking zones.
2
Evaluate the statutory exemptions allowing a driver to cross a solid white line.
Exemptions apply exclusively when turning into adjoining premises, passing a stationary vehicle, or overtaking a pedal cycle, horse, or road maintenance vehicle moving at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
These narrow exceptions prevent dangerous prolonged obstruction by exceptionally slow road users while strictly forbidding general overtaking.
3
Apply safe clearance and passing rules for vulnerable road users.
The driver must wait until there is ample visibility and space to pass safely, giving at least 1.5 metres of room for cyclists and at least 2.0 metres at 10 mph or under for horses.
Vulnerable road users require adequate space and consideration to prevent collisions or startle animals.

You are driving behind a long articulated lorry that is signalling to turn left into a narrow side road. Before turning, the lorry moves over towards the right-hand side of the road. What action should you take?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Stay well back behind the lorry and allow it room to complete the turn

Cevap

Stay well back behind the lorry and allow it sufficient room to complete the turn.
Long articulated vehicles require extra road space to negotiate tight turns at junctions. The driver often needs to move out to the right before turning left to prevent the rear wheels from mounting the pavement. Following vehicles must stay well back and give the lorry enough room to complete the manoeuvre safely.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Observe the lorry's signal and road positioning ahead.
Recognise that the driver has moved right in order to obtain a wider turning arc for a tight left turn.
Articulated lorries and long vehicles require extra road space to prevent their rear wheels from mounting the kerb.
2
Evaluate the risk of undertaking or crowding the vehicle.
Identify that the temporary gap opening on the left side is a hazardous blind spot zone.
As the lorry cab turns left, the trailer cuts across the inside corner, closing any open space.
3
Maintain a safe following distance and wait patiently.
The lorry completes the manoeuvre safely without obstruction.

You are parking a manual transmission car facing downhill on a steep street with a kerb on your left. In addition to applying the parking brake firmly, what should you do to prevent the vehicle from rolling forward?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Turn the steering wheel towards the kerb and select reverse gear

Cevap

Turn the steering wheel towards the kerb and select reverse gear
Under Highway Code Rule 252, when parking facing downhill on an incline with a kerb, you should firmly apply the handbrake, turn the front wheels towards the kerb, and select reverse gear. The kerb acts as a physical barrier to catch the tyres if the brake slips, and reverse gear uses engine compression to prevent the wheels from turning forward.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the vehicle orientation and slope direction
The car is parked facing downhill alongside a kerb.
Parking procedures on hills depend on whether the vehicle is pointing uphill or downhill and whether a kerb is present.
2
Determine the correct steering wheel position according to Highway Code Rule 252
Turn the steering wheel towards the kerb (to the left when parked on the left).
If the parking brake fails, the front tyres will roll into the kerb and halt the vehicle rather than allowing it to roll into the road.
3
