The answer options
- They may be overtaking on the left
- They may be following you
- They may be overtaking on the rightCorrect
- They may emerge from side road
Why that is the answer
Before turning right, always check your mirrors and right-hand blind spot. Motorcyclists often filter or overtake on the right, especially if traffic is slowing down ahead of a junction. Because motorcycles are small and easily obscured, you might not notice them straight away. Turning across an overtaking rider’s path can cause a serious crash. Always take extra care and look carefully before making the turn, as advised in the Highway Code.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from vulnerable road users appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.
The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
