You wait at the front of a queue to turn right across oncoming traffic. Where should you position your car while waiting?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Near the centre line with the wheels straight
- Step 1: A rear-end shunt can push a waiting car forward. Step 2. Keep the wheels straight until the way is clear. Answer: Near the centre line with the wheels straight. Why not the others: With the front wheels turned to the right ready to go: if hit from behind you would be pushed into the oncoming lane. Well to the left of your lane: this blocks following traffic more than necessary. Across the centre line to see better: this puts you in the oncoming lane.
