Question 932 in the bank

According to the picture, what limitation is faced by the green (commercial) pick-up truck that wishes to turn right?

Rear view of a green pick-up truck with a blue load; a helmeted scooter rider beside it on the right, a white car on the left, traffic lights ahead.
  1. The motor scooter intends to drive straight; hence there is no danger in turning right.
  2. The pick-up truck is permitted to turn right even though the motorcycle is on his right because the law does not forbid it
  3. Correct answer: The driver of the pick-up truck should be careful, because there is another vehicle driving in a “blind spot” to his right.
  4. The pick-up truck is statutory prohibited to turn right.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The driver of the pick-up truck should be careful, because there is another vehicle driving in a “blind spot” to his right.

The motor scooter is riding close on the truck's right side, where it can easily sit in a blind spot not covered by the mirrors. Before turning right, the driver should slow down, check the mirrors and look over the shoulder, and let the two-wheeler pass. Never assume the rider will go straight, because misjudging this can lead to hitting him during the turn.
