37. A horse rider is in the left-hand lane approaching a roundabout. What should you expect the rider to do?
Mark one answer
B
C
D
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Horses and their riders will move more slowly than other road users. They might not have time to cut across heavy traffic to take up a position in the offside lane when they're turning right; it could also be hazardous for them to do so. Therefore, a horse and rider may approach a roundabout in the left-hand lane, even though they're turning right.

Explanation: In slow-moving traffic, particularly on dual carriageways or motorways, always be on the lookout for motorcyclists who approach from behind and filter through narrow gaps between vehicles.
Correct Answer: D
