Highway code quiz (1 Viewer)

[DanielFord]

OK people, I am very bored today. As some of you may have spotted from previous threads, I get very frustrated with drivers who don't know the rules of the road. So I thought I'd start a fun quiz.

This first is one of my pet hates, the road in the video is National Speed Limit, so part one of the question, what is the maximum speed a car can drive on this stretch of road?
Second part, who has priority over the middle lane?

It's only fun, I am curious as to how many people know the answer

 

[scotjimland]

60 MPH

the oncoming vehicles have priority in the middle lane

 

[philw111]

60mph
Traffic on t'other side has priority

Are you joking or serious, I'd say 60 but there is no middle lane as I see it , there's one on your side and two on the other

 

[New Dawn]

60mph. Traffic on the other side has priority !!!!

 

[DanielFord]

60mph
Traffic on t'other side has priority

1 out of 2

Nobody is completely correct yet

 

[irnbru]

60 and traffic on the left has priority. Oncoming traffic is not allowed to cross solid white line.

Nobody is completely correct yet

60 and neither section 135

Where a single carriageway has three lanes and the road markings or signs do not give priority to traffic in either direction
use the middle lane only for overtaking or turning right. Remember, you have no more right to use the middle lane than a driver coming from the opposite direction do not use the right-hand lane.

60 mph there is no priority so whoever is there first. Hate these three lane things. Should be marked so you know!

 

[Gaston aires]

60 mph. traffic in the left lane has priority. ( same as irnbru)

The limit is 60mph. The centre lane can only be used by on-coming traffic whilst overtaking or if an oncoming car intends to turn to his right at a junction.

 

[scotjimland]

the oncoming traffic has the right to use two lanes.. inside lane for normal driving, middle lane for overtaking.

the Mortorhome driver can use the middle lane for overtaking ONLY where there is a broken white line on his side, AND there is no oncoming traffic using it.

120 mph two up on the blacbird and I have priorities on all lanes

After watching the video clip again I'm changing my mind and agreeing with scotjimlands post.

You have Italian Ancestry and I claim the £5!

 

[StefAndDi]

1. 60mph for sure.

2. In the situation shown the middle lane can be used by vehicles from each direction but nobody has priority over the other.

Bicycles and buses have all priorities and do not have to adhere to any white line or traffic signal

One question.. Why only 120 ? Give the ol girl her head and get out of third for gawd sake !

Why only 120 ?

It's quite appealing, look down, in France as I did, and it's hovering on 200.

Wouldn't dare do in now though, on one of those glorious dead straight, fields both sides, N roads.

Correct answer, no one has priority and 60

Having spent 20 years driving a white car with orange stripes along the sides I'm pleased that I didn't embarrass myself.

Almost fast enough for a 45 ton 737 to take off.

 

[Debs]

I would like to think that if I was driving I would have spotted that.....the small screen on my ipad is my excuse

 

[pappajohn]

The limit is 60mph. The centre lane can only be used by on-coming traffic whilst overtaking or if an oncoming car intends to turn to his right at a junction.

Now that could be fun.....

Pull out to overtake and find a stationary car turning right.

You may not have noticed the unbroken white line forbidding this move.

"has three lanes and the road markings or signs do not give priority to traffic in either direction" .. that is correct..

Correct answer, no one has priority and 60

See the Highway Code rule stated.
Both lanes have broken lines allowing use of the Middle lane, so you are wrong by your own argument
