Practice question

When driving on a two-lane road, what should you always do?

  1. Stay in the middle of the road
  2. Drive on the shoulder
  3. Stay as close to the right edge of the road as possible unless passing
  4. Focus on the left lane only

Answer: C — Stay as close to the right edge of the road as possible unless passing

Staying as close to the right edge of the road as possible unless passing is essential for safe driving on a two-lane road. This practice maximizes your visibility and allows for smoother traffic flow. By maintaining a position near the right edge, you provide ample space for oncoming traffic and ensure that vehicles that may be faster than you can safely pass on the left without encroaching on your lane. Moreover, this positioning helps prevent situations where a driver could accidentally drift into the oncoming lane, especially in narrow road conditions. It’s also crucial for accommodating cyclists and pedestrians who may share the roadway in some areas. This understanding of roadway positioning enhances both your safety and that of others around you while driving.
