Other types of vehicle
A long vehicle in front of you at a roundabout is taking up part of another lane. Why?
- The driver is lost and confused
- It may need to straddle lanes because of its length, so give it roomCorrect
- It is trying to block you deliberately
- Long vehicles are banned from roundabouts
Why?
Rule 187 of The Highway Code warns that long vehicles, including those towing trailers, might take a different course or straddle lanes approaching or on a roundabout because of their length. Watch their signals and give them plenty of room.
