You should normally use the left-hand lane on any dual carriageway unless you are overtaking or turning right. When overtaking on a dual carriageway, look for vehicles ahead that are turning right. They're likely to be slowing or stopped. You need to see them in good time so that you can take appropriate action.

---

Answer: A

Explanation:
There are times where road markings can be obscured by queuing traffic, or you might be unsure which lane you need to be in. If you realise that you're in the wrong lane, don't cut across lanes or bully other drivers to let you in. Follow the lane you're in and find somewhere safe to turn around if you need to.

A) Sports car	C) Estate car
B) Van	D) Long vehicle

A) there are less than two vehicles in front of you	C) your exit road is clear
B) the traffic lights show green	D) you need to turn left

B) 12 metres (39 feet)	D) 20 metres (66 feet)

Answer: A

Explanation:
Don't park within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction (unless in an authorised parking place). This is to allow drivers emerging from, or turning into, the junction a clear view of the road they are joining. It also allows them to see hazards such as pedestrians or cyclists at the junction.

Other traffic will have to pull out to pass you. They may have to use the other side of the road, and if you park near the brow of a hill, they may not be able to see oncoming traffic. It's important not to park at or near a bus stop as this could inconvenience passengers, and may put them at risk as they get on or off the bus. Parking near a junction could restrict the view for emerging vehicles.
