You want to turn right from a junction. What should you do if your view is restricted by parked vehicles?
- A Move out quickly, but be prepared to stop
- B Sound your horn and pull out if there's no reply
- C Stop, then move forward slowly until you have a clear view
- D Stop, get out and look along the main road to check
Why this is the answer
If you want to turn right from a junction and your view is restricted, stop. Ease forward until you can see – something might be approaching. If you don't know, don't go.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Move out quickly, but be prepared to stop — Moving out quickly into a road you cannot see removes any chance of stopping.
- B
- Sound your horn and pull out if there's no reply — Silence is not evidence that the road is clear.
- D
- Stop, get out and look along the main road to check — Leaving your car standing in a junction creates a worse hazard than the one you are solving.
Where this comes from
