QUESTION 033Not studied yet

You have not yet started a planned lane change when you notice a motorcyclist approaching rapidly in the adjacent lane in your mirror. What should you do?

General principles • vulnerable road usersCompared with sources

Answer

Postpone the lane change and stay safely in your lane. Monitor the motorcyclist's movement and surrounding traffic; plan the manoeuvre again only once you are sure there is sufficient safe space.

Please note

In this situation, the lane change has not yet begun. There is no universally safe gap: it depends on speeds, visibility and the movement of the entire vehicle combination.

A simple explanation

A motorcycle may approach faster than a single glance in the mirror suggests. Spotting its approach early allows you to abandon the manoeuvre before the vehicles come dangerously close. Before trying again, recheck the mirrors and blind spots; the absence of a warning from an assistance system does not confirm that the lane is clear.

REMEMBER

The situation has changed – plan the lane change again.

Learning together and feedback

Try it together in 25–30 minutes

For an instructor and a small group: choose one C/CE freight transport topic in the Lithuania and EU context. Use your own devices, including a phone and a computer.

  1. 3 questions. In ‘Recall’ mode, first answer in your own words, then read the explanation and mark what needs more review.
  2. A lesson and a diagram. Discuss what they explain and which conditions matter.
  3. One scenario. Decide before revealing the solution. Explain the reasons for your chosen action.
  4. A few quiz questions. Read the explanation for each option. You can finish the quiz early; the remaining questions will be marked as unanswered.
  5. Discussion. Everyone names one useful point and one thing that needs correcting.

How can you share or suggest a correction?

You will find the question link and feedback field below this section. Lessons, diagrams and scenarios have their own ‘Copy link’ button. ‘Suggest a correction’ helps you prepare a note with the specific link and version label. Copy or download the text and pass it on for review.

Discuss: is it easy to find an answer and return to the question? Can you explain the reason and the limits of the rule's application? Which sentence is misleading? Flag any significant legal or safety uncertainty for checking before using the material.
