1. The lorry is about to turn
2. The driver can't see you either — drop back
3. You're at a safe following distance
4. You should overtake immediately

Answer: B. If you can't see the lorry driver's mirrors, the driver cannot see you. Drop back — you'll be visible, you'll see further down the road, and you'll have a safer view for any overtake. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 164 and 222

1. Overtake on its left as it moves right
2. Sound your horn to alert the driver
3. Hold back — long vehicles often need the full width of the road to turn
4. Squeeze through the gap on the right

Answer: C. Long vehicles swing out before tight turns. Passing on the inside as it turns left could trap you along its nearside. Stay back until the manoeuvre is complete. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 221

1. They travel more slowly than other traffic
2. They can't steer to avoid you and move quietly on fixed rails
3. They always have flashing amber beacons
4. They only run at night

Answer: B. Trams run on fixed rails and cannot swerve; they're also quiet and can approach quickly. Never race one to a stop, and give way where tram signs and signals require it. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 300–307

1. Motorcycles accelerate more slowly in wind
2. A gust can blow the rider off course and into your path
3. Riders always move to the centre of the lane in wind
4. It's a legal requirement only above 50 mph

Answer: B. Wind gusts — including the one your own vehicle creates — can push a rider sideways suddenly. Give motorcyclists, cyclists and high-sided vehicles generous clearance in windy conditions. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 232–233

1. Accelerate past before it moves
2. Give way to it when you can do so safely
3. Sound your horn and hold your position
4. Flash your headlights and keep your speed

Answer: B. Give buses priority to move off from stops when you can do so safely — and watch for pedestrians stepping out from behind the bus to cross. Reference: The Highway Code — rule 223

1. Overtake immediately to escape the spray
2. Drop well back until you can see clearly, and use dipped headlights
3. Follow closely in its wheel tracks
4. Use your rear fog lights

Answer: B. Spray can blind you for seconds at a time. Dropping back restores your view and your stopping margin; only overtake when you can see it's completely safe. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 227 and 235

1. It's broken down
2. Powered wheelchairs and scooters (max 8 mph) must use a flashing amber beacon on dual carriageways to warn drivers
3. The rider is asking for help
4. It's turning right

Answer: B. Class 3 powered wheelchairs and scooters are limited to 8 mph and are hard to spot at road speeds — the amber beacon is their legal warning device on dual carriageways. Give them plenty of room. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 36–46 and 220

1. Overtake on the next bend while it slows
2. Sound your horn until it pulls over
3. Stay back patiently and overtake only on a straight, clear stretch when you can see it's safe
4. Follow within a car length to shorten the overtake

Answer: C. Tractor drivers often pull in when they can — pressuring them helps nobody. Hold back where you can see ahead, then commit to the overtake only with a long, clear view. Reference: The Highway Code — rules 162–164 and 169
