You wish to turn right on a one-way street which has two lanes. Where should you position yourself?

Either lane, it is a one-way street

You wish to turn rig… — In the right-hand lane

The answer options

Either lane, it is a one-way street
In the left-hand lane
Straddling both lanes
In the right-hand laneCorrect

Why the other options are wrong

“Either lane, it is a one-way street” is a distractor. It does not meet the standard the question is testing, which in the right-hand lane does. Picking it in the real test costs a mark you cannot get back, and with a pass mark of 43 out of 50 you only have seven to spare.
“In the left-hand lane” is a distractor. It does not meet the standard the question is testing, which in the right-hand lane does. Picking it in the real test costs a mark you cannot get back, and with a pass mark of 43 out of 50 you only have seven to spare.
“Straddling both lanes” is a distractor. It does not meet the standard the question is testing, which in the right-hand lane does. Picking it in the real test costs a mark you cannot get back, and with a pass mark of 43 out of 50 you only have seven to spare.

Why that is the answer

When turning right on a two-lane one-way street, position your vehicle in the right-hand lane as early as it is safe to do so. The Highway Code advises using the right-hand lane for right turns to keep traffic flowing smoothly and avoid blocking drivers who are turning left or going straight ahead. Turning right from the left-hand lane cuts across other vehicles, creating a serious hazard.

What attitude covers

· Safe following distances and what to do when tailgated
· Reacting to aggressive, hesitant or inconsiderate drivers
· Emergency and slow-moving vehicles and how to let them pass
· Use of the horn and headlight flashes as warnings, not invitations

Mistakes learners repeat on this topic

· Flashing headlights to tell another driver to proceed
· Braking sharply to discourage a tailgater
· Sounding the horn in a built-up area at night out of frustration
· Speeding up when a driver tries to overtake you

Instructor tip: When two answers are both polite, choose the one that increases the gap rather than the one that communicates.

How this comes up in the real test

Questions from attitude 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.
