What should you be especially aware of while you're driving a double-deck bus on a road with a steep camber?
- A Lampposts
- B Parking meters
- C Parked cars
- D Litter bins
Why this is the answer
When driving high-sided vehicles, such as double-deck buses, changes in the road camber can affect your vehicle. As the bus leans towards the kerb, there's a risk that shop awnings, trees and street furniture, such as lampposts, could strike the top deck.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- Parking meters — Parking meters are low enough that no bus will ever touch one.
- C
- Parked cars — Parked cars matter for width, and the camber question is about what is above you.
- D
- Litter bins — Litter bins are at pavement height.
