You're listening to the examiner give your pupil a debrief at the end of their test. They have a serious fault for response to road markings. What error could your pupil have made?
- A Driving unnecessarily in the right-hand lane of a dual carriageway
- B Driving in a bus lane with a plate displaying times of operation
- C Driving over the central markings in the middle of a mini-roundabout
- D Driving over give way lines without stopping to take effective observations
Why this is the answer
Your pupil needs to recognise and know how to respond to different road markings. At mini-roundabouts, they need to drive around the central markings when this is possible.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- Driving unnecessarily in the right-hand lane of a dual carriageway — Lane hogging on a dual carriageway is marked as lane discipline.
- B
- Driving in a bus lane with a plate displaying times of operation — A bus lane with hours shown may be used outside them.
- D
- Driving over give way lines without stopping to take effective observations — Failing to observe at give way lines is a junction observation fault.
Where this comes from

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.
