Revision question · Alertness

You're waiting to turn right at the end of a road. What should you do if your view is obstructed by parked vehicles?

Stop and then move forward slowly and carefully for a clear viewThis was the right answer

At junctions, your view is often restricted by buildings, trees or parked cars. You need to be able to see in order to judge a safe gap. Edge forward slowly and keep looking all the time. Don’t cause other road users to change speed or direction as you emerge.
