Lane Position, Following & Intersections

As you approach an intersection with a car waiting to pull out, you should:

  • A.Assume the driver has seen you and maintain speed
  • B.Cover your brakes, reduce speed, and be ready to stop or swerve
  • C.Weave back and forth across the whole road
  • D.Turn off your headlight so the driver is not blinded
Correct answer

B. Cover your brakes, reduce speed, and be ready to stop or swerve

Why

Never assume a waiting driver sees you, even if they appear to look your way. Covering the brakes and slowing creates the time and options you need if the car pulls out.
