Practice question

When driving on a one-way street past vehicles parked on the left, where should you position your vehicle?

  1. To the left portion of your lane
  2. In the middle of your lane
  3. To the right portion of your lane
  4. Any available space

Answer: C — To the right portion of your lane

When driving on a one-way street, especially past vehicles parked on the left, positioning your vehicle toward the right portion of your lane is crucial for safety. This allows for a greater buffer zone between your vehicle and any opening car doors from the parked vehicles. It helps in preventing potential collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles that may be adjacent to those parked cars. Additionally, this positioning provides the necessary space to navigate safely without veering too close to oncoming traffic, should there be any unforeseen circumstances. Proper lane positioning promotes better visibility and control, enhancing the overall safety of your driving experience.
