Revision question · The driver

You're approaching a green traffic light and are going straight ahead. What should you do when the traffic ahead, beyond the junction, has stopped and is queuing?

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.

Go forward if your vehicle will clear the junctionThis was the right answer

Look well ahead and plan your approach to all junctions. Even if the traffic lights are green, don't go forward if queuing traffic will cause you to block the junction. Be aware of the length of your vehicle and how much space it needs to clear the junction.
