When driving behind a heavy goods vehicle that is signalling to turn right, what should a driver do?
- See if the vehicle can complete the turn without stopping, and if not, overtake it yourself.
- Sound the horn and overtake the heavy goods vehicle on the right.
- Overtake it slowly on the inside by driving partly on the footpath if necessary.
- Correct answerStay behind until there is enough 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.

当跟在一辆正在打右转信号的重型货车后面行驶时，司机应该怎么做？
- 查看车辆是否能在不停下的情况下完成转弯，如果不能，您可以自己超车。
- 鸣喇叭并从右侧超越重型货车。
- 如果有必要，可以在人行道上部分行驶，从内侧慢慢超越。
- 在内侧有足够空间超车或其完成转弯之前，请保持在后方。
重型货车在道路上需要额外的空间，当它们转弯时，车身的外悬部分可能会摆动到超车或经过的车辆路径上。因此，最好保持距离，让重型货车完成转弯，除非有足够的空间可以安全超车。
