Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: The driver should stay well back in a safe position..
You should always be prepared to react to hazards ahead. If the vehicle in front is moving from side to side; it may indicate that the driver is not paying full attention or that their driving is impaired by drink; drugs or tiredness. If you think the vehicle is a risk to the public safety; the matter should be reported to the Gardaí or to traffic watch (lo-call 1890 205 805); but not while driving.
