Questions What is the right lane on a motorway used for? Can you overtake a bus when it has pulled up to pick up passengers on a busy road (both ways)? When should you use the dim lights on your car? If you have taken pills before driving, what should you do? How much space should you leave when you're the first car behind a closed train barrier? Answers A right-hand lane on a motorway is used for overtaking. Drivers in this lane should be driving faster than those in other lanes. If the road is busy with continuously incoming vehicles, you should wait behind the bus. If the road was calm, then you could check the road and go when clear and you had enough room. The highway code suggests that you use dim lights when visibility is seriously reduced. This can mean anything below 100m ahead of you. You should check the pill bottle to see whether it affects your driving as well as sleepiness and other driving-impacting consequences. If this is the case, you should not drive and wait for the effects to wear out or get a ride from another driver. Although there is no true answer, it is recommended to leave a full car gap or even more. Going too close could pose a risk to your vehicle and put you in trouble. Leave as much room as you possibly can without stopping too far away. Summary The topics covered this week were motorway rules, road rules, vehicle handling, personal safety & vehicle safety (x2).
