What should you do if the left-hand pavement is closed due to street repairs?
- A Watch out for pedestrians walking in the road
- B Use your right-hand mirror more often
- C Speed up to get past the roadworks more quickly
- D Position close to the left-hand kerb
Why this is the answer
Where street repairs have closed off pavements, proceed carefully and slowly, as pedestrians might have to walk in the road.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- Use your right-hand mirror more often — The people are on your left, not on your right.
- C
- Speed up to get past the roadworks more quickly — Speed is the wrong answer anywhere people are walking in the road.
- D
- Position close to the left-hand kerb — That is precisely where they will be walking.
