Which road user is most likely to be allowed to share a bus lane?
- A Learner driver
- B Lorry driver
- C Disabled driver
- D Taxi driver
Why this is the answer
The bus-lane signs will indicate which road users are allowed to share the lane with buses and any time restrictions that may apply. Taxis are often allowed to use bus lanes, as these lanes provide a route that has less congestion and can therefore be quicker.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Learner driver — Learner drivers have no special access to bus lanes.
- B
- Lorry driver — Lorries are kept out of bus lanes like other traffic.
- C
- Disabled driver — A disabled driver's badge governs parking, not bus lane use.
