Question 749 in the bank

How does driving on the right side of the road affect drivers' field of vision?

  1. Correct answer: Keeping to the right improves the field of vision of the drivers in the vehicles behind you.
  2. Driving on the right reduces the view angle of those driving behind you.
  3. There is no connection between driving on the right and the field of view.
  4. The field of vision is not affected: A comfortable field of view can only be created by doubling the required distance between vehicles.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Keeping to the right improves the field of vision of the drivers in the vehicles behind you.

When you drive on the right side of the lane, the driver behind you can look past the left of the vehicle ahead and see the road ahead, including oncoming traffic and obstacles. This gives them a wider field of vision, and they can plan an overtaking or braking in time.
