Which vehicle is most likely to take an unusual course at a roundabout?
- A Estate car
- B Taxi
- C Delivery van
- D Long vehicle
Why this is the answer
Long vehicles might have to take a slightly different position when approaching the roundabout or going around it. This is to stop the rear of the vehicle cutting in and mounting the kerb.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Estate car — An estate is no longer than an ordinary car in the ways that matter here.
- B
- Taxi — A taxi follows the same lines as any other car.
- C
- Delivery van — A van is still short enough to keep within its lane.
Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites. Everything else on this page is written by Theory Hub: the explanation of why each wrong answer is wrong, the topic guide and the revision notes.
