If the width of the road does not allow the vehicle to be overtaken easily and without danger, what must the driver of a large vehicle do to let following vehicles pass?

Correct answer

Reduce speed or pull onto the hard shoulder if practicable.

If the width of the road does not allow the vehicle to be overtaken easily and without danger, the driver of a large vehicle must reduce speed or pull onto the hard shoulder if practicable, to let following vehicles pass. When the driver of a heavy vehicle, a large vehicle, or one with a specific speed limit cannot keep fully to the right-hand edge of the road, but can be overtaken safely, they must indicate this possibility by extending their arm and moving it repeatedly backwards and forwards, with the back of the hand facing backwards, or by using the right indicator. However, if road conditions, such as the density of oncoming traffic, insufficient road width or its condition, do not allow overtaking easily and safely, the driver must slow down or pull onto the hard shoulder as soon as possible, whenever practicable, to make it easier for following vehicles to pass.
