8 of 8 · Fascicule 5, question 80

On a two-way four-lane road, if there is a large vehicle that shows no respect for the traffic rules, e.g., in order to turn left, it uses the outside lane and turns directly into the side road or, for making a right turn, it occupies the inside lane and forces its way to the right. Its actions block traffic and endanger the other vehicles around. Therefore, drivers who find themselves in these situations should:

APay attention to the direction indicators of the large vehicle or the hand signals given by its driver
BMaintain a safe distance from the large vehicle, avoid fighting for road space with it or travelling alongside it
CGive way to the large vehicle and honk the horn to warn it when necessary, so as to avoid collisions when they are inside the blind spot of the large vehicle
DAll of the aboveOfficial answer
