You want to go straight on a green light. Truck A in lane 1 on your left blocks your view of the road to the left. Which TWO are the safest actions? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 2 and wants to go straight
- Green light
- Truck A is beside you in lane 1 on the left
- Car B is approaching the intersection from the left road (red for B)
💡 Hint
A green light only means you may proceed; your duty to drive at a speed and in a manner suited to traffic conditions remains (Article 48(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Do not overlook that a vehicle running its red light may appear from the side hidden by a large vehicle.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
A green light means you may proceed, not that it is safe. Drivers must drive at a speed and in a manner that does not endanger others given the traffic conditions (Road Traffic Act Article 48(1)), so slow down and check both sides in case car B, hidden by the truck, runs its red light. Accelerating with a blocked view or tailgating the truck is dangerous.
