You're on a motorway. Your lorry has a maximum authorised mass of more than 7.5 tonnes. What does this sign mean to you?
- A You must not use the right-hand lane
- B You can only use the right-hand lane
- C You cannot leave the motorway at this junction
- D You can use the middle or right-hand lane
Why this is the answer
At motorway roadworks, some lanes may be narrower than normal and large vehicles may not be allowed to use those lanes. Look for weight-limit signs to check for any lanes that you cannot use. Move to the appropriate lane in good time.
Why the other answers don't fit
- B
- You can only use the right-hand lane — The sign restricts that lane rather than reserving it for you.
- C
- You cannot leave the motorway at this junction — Leaving the motorway is governed by the exit signs, not this one.
- D
- You can use the middle or right-hand lane — The middle lane is open to you; the right-hand one is not.

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.
