Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Be alert for other drivers who may suddenly change lanes or reduce speed..
Motorways and dual carriageways are designed to help traffic travel faster and more safely between destinations. Traffic conditions can change very quickly because of the speed and increased volumes of traffic and lanes; and you need to be particularly alert to other drivers changing lanes or reducing speed.
