When driving behind a heavy goods vehicle that is signalling to turn right; what should a driver do?

Correct Answer

Stay behind until there is sufficient space to overtake it on the inside or until it has completed the turn.

Explanation: Heavy goods vehicles need extra space on the road; and when they are turning the overhang of the vehicle may swing out into the path of overtaking or passing traffic. For that reason; it is a good idea to stay back and let the heavy goods vehicle complete its turn unless there is sufficient space to overtake safely.
