You're driving an articulated lorry. What should you do when you see this sign?
- A Turn round and find an alternative route
- B Park safely and arrange alternative transport for the goods
- C Inform your vehicle operator and await further instructions
- D Drive past the sign because it does not apply to you
Why this is the answer
The sign prohibits buses and coaches with more than 8 passenger seats and so does not apply to you.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Turn round and find an alternative route — Turning round costs you a journey for a restriction that was never yours.
- B
- Park safely and arrange alternative transport for the goods — Arranging other transport is an expensive response to a sign aimed at someone else.
- C
- Inform your vehicle operator and await further instructions — Calling the operator about a sign that does not apply to you wastes everyone's time.

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.
