Revision question · Band 1 road procedure

You're approaching a busy junction. There are several lanes with road markings. What should you do when, at the last moment, you realise that you're in the wrong lane?

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.

Continue in that lane

Show the answer

Continue in that laneThis was the right answer

Sometimes road markings can be obscured by queuing traffic, or you may be unsure which lane you need to be in. If you realise too late that you're in the wrong lane, don't cut across lanes or bully other drivers to let you in. Follow the lane you're in and find somewhere safe to turn around if you need to.
