Show answer
Correct answer
- BNo.No.
Explanation
The red vehicle is not acting correctly. By staying on the carriageway while waiting to make the U-turn, it prevents the vehicles behind it from continuing, so it must leave the carriageway on its right-hand side, if possible, and wait until traffic conditions allow it to make the U-turn.
