What is in this topic

One question, worked through

A real-style question from this topic, with its full explanation. Take your time here; on the day you will have 15 seconds.

You crossed a combined line to overtake while the broken stripe was on your side. Halfway through, the stripe on your side becomes continuous. What does the code allow?

  1. You must stop and wait for the line to change
  2. You may not return and must turn off the road
  3. You may cross again to take up your normal place on the right
  4. You must stay on the left until the line becomes broken again

The answer

C — You may cross again to take up your normal place on the right

Why

Drivers who have crossed a combined line to overtake may cross it again to resume their normal place on the carriageway.

Why not

  • A Stopping in the oncoming lane would be dangerous and is not required.
  • B The article expressly allows the return.
  • D Staying on the left of a continuous centre line is itself forbidden; the code lets you return.
