You are driving on a two-way road and in front of you drives a vehicle that signals with its left indicator:
- You may immediately overtake it from its right, by pulling into the “hard shoulder”.
- Correct answer: You should take into consideration that the vehicle before you might deviate to the left and you should allow it to do so.
- You shouldn’t overtake it on a narrow roadway, but you may overtake it from its left side on a wide road.
- You may overtake after using the horn to warn him. The signal he gives doesn’t oblige you.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: You should take into consideration that the vehicle before you might deviate to the left and you should allow it to do so.
A left signal shows that the vehicle intends to turn or deviate to the left. So you must take into account that it may deviate to the left, and allow it to do so safely. Sounding the horn does not cancel the meaning of its signal. Overtaking on the right by pulling into the hard shoulder is dangerous.
