Revision question · Vulnerable road users

You see a horse rider as you approach a roundabout. What should you do if they're signalling right but keeping well to the left?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Stay well backThis was the right answer

Allow the horse rider to enter and exit the roundabout in their own time. They may feel safer keeping to the left all the way around the roundabout. Don’t get up close behind or alongside them, because that would probably upset the horse and create a dangerous situation.
