Is the passenger driver allowed to start movement?
Answer options
Explanation
Yes, provided it does not obstruct the truck driver. Moving off from the kerb or the roadside is a manoeuvre, not a right: the driver starting off must give way to vehicles already travelling on the road and to pedestrians. In the picture the dark car is standing at the right-hand kerb wanting to join the flow while the blue truck is moving in the same direction on the carriageway, so the answer is neither an unconditional yes nor an absolute no — it is permitted on condition that the truck driver is not forced to change speed or course. A loaded truck is heavy with a long braking distance, and a sudden stop shifts its load and triggers rear-end collisions behind it. Note that an indicator announces intent and grants no priority.
