A To Prevent Congestion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n B To reduce the risk of dangerous driving<\/p>\n C To speed up traffic<\/p>\n D Accidents are less fatal in the left hand lane<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The president of the AA Edmund Kings states that the main reason why middle lane hogging is wrong is that it causes congestion. The result of this sort of driving is that it could potentially waste a third of a motorway capacity. \u201cMiddle lane hoggers\u201d can now face an on the spot fine of \u00a3100.<\/p>\n The rules on the UK Government website about motorway driving<\/a> gives a clear instruction that “On a two-lane dual carriageway you should stay in the left-hand lane. Use the right-hand lane for overtaking or turning right. After overtaking, move back to the left-hand lane when it is safe to do so.”<\/p>\n On a three-lane dual carriageway, you may use the middle lane or the right-hand lane to overtake but return to the middle and then the left-hand lane when it is safe.”<\/p>\n A Yes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n B No<\/p><\/blockquote>\n West Yorkshire police state that the hard shoulder \u00a0should be used for emergencies only.<\/p>\n “It wouldn’t be acceptable to pull into the hard shoulder for a rest when tired. \u00a0On long journeys a driver should plan their journey to incorporate rest breaks at service stations if needed.<\/p>\n The hard shoulder \u00a0on a motorway is a dangerous place and should be used for emergencies only for example when a vehicle is breaking down.” \u00a0Rules 247 of the highway code state the proper use of the hard shoulder for vehicle drivers.

However, if you were caught drinking alcohol whilst driving it’s very likely that you will be pulled over.<\/p>\n West Yorkshire police adds: “There is no fool-proof way of drinking and staying under the limit. The amount of alcohol you would need to drink to be considered over the driving limit varies from person to person. It depends on the following factors:<\/p>\n It is not advisable to even have one drink and drive as alcohol impairs your judgement and lessens your reflexes. The official amount of alcohol is 35 microgrammes per 100ml of breath reading, this cannot be translated into an exact amount of units as it depends on many factors, height and weight, time when last drink consumed etc, so the best advice is not to drink at all or order a taxi.<\/p>\n Even small amounts of alcohol can affect your ability to drive so the only safe advice is to avoid any alcohol if you are driving.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Yes<\/p>\n B No<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Its is not illegal for passengers of a car to drink alcohol in the UK. In other countries, such as the United States, the laws are far more strict and “open container” laws<\/a> restrict the possession of any open alcoholic beverage container, as well the consumption of any alcoholic beverage by anyone in a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A\u00a0Continue forward at the same speed<\/p>\n B\u00a0Perform an emergency stop to avoid hitting the rabbit<\/p>\n C\u00a0Change direction or drive around the rabbit to avoid hitting it<\/p>\n D\u00a0Slow down and avoid animal only if there are no cars behind you<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Although somewhat distressing to run over an animal \u2013 the required procedure is to react to obstructions in a way that will do the least damage to yourself, your passengers other road users, and pedestrians. If it is possible to avoid hitting an animal without harming anyone else then it is fine to do so. If an accident was caused because a driver braked or swerved to avoid an animal in the road, the fault of the accident would lie with that driver.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n The only animals that you are required to report to the police are those that are defined in the Road Traffic Act 1998<\/a>.
