Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: When the vehicle in front is signalling to turn right..
You may overtake on the left when the driver in front has moved out and signalled their intent to turn right and you intend to go straight ahead ? provided there is enough room to do so safely and your path will not be obstructed by the swing of a large vehicle turning right.
