Question 5816
The driver of a heavy vehicle cannot keep fully to the right edge of the roadway, but passing is still possible. How is the driver required to indicate this?
- With the arm held horizontally, the back of the hand facing backward, moving it from back to front.
- With the left turn signal.
- By accelerating so as not to impede traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: With the arm held horizontally, the back of the hand facing backward, moving it from back to front.
If the heavy-vehicle driver cannot keep fully to the right but can be passed safely, they must extend their arm horizontally, with the back of the hand facing backward, and move it several times from back to front, like the truck driver in the image. If they prefer not to use their arm, they must turn on the right turn signal. They must not speed up.
