You’re driving along a dual carriageway. This symbol is displayed on your dashboard. Which advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is turned on?
- A Blind-spot assist
- B Intelligent speed assist
- C Lane-keep assist
- D Traffic jam assist
Why this is the answer
Lane-keep assist is designed to stop your car from drifting out of the lane it’s in. You should consult your manufacturer’s guidance to make sure you’re familiar with the ADAS in your car and use them when its appropriate.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Blind-spot assist — That warns about what is beside you, and has its own symbol.
- B
- Intelligent speed assist — That deals with speed limits, not with lane position.
- D
- Traffic jam assist — That is for slow queues, not for a dual carriageway at speed.

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.
