What should we do when driving behind a vehicle that is giving a direction indicator signal?
- Stay close to the right of the road.
- Continue driving without slowing down. It has nothing to do with you.
- Continue driving at an accelerated speed, to minimize the conflict period.
- Correct answer: We should allow the driver of the vehicle in front to perform the action he signaled for, by slowing down and stop if required.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: We should allow the driver of the vehicle in front to perform the action he signaled for, by slowing down and stop if required.
A direction indicator gives advance notice that the driver in front intends to turn, change lanes or stop. The driver behind should slow down and even stop if required, so the driver in front can perform the action safely and an accident is prevented. Speeding up or continuing without slowing down increases the danger, because responsibility for preventing a collision also lies with the driver behind.
