You drive into a transit lane where the T2 rule applies. You have one passenger plus yourself. Are you permitted to remain in the transit lane?
As you have two or more people in your vehicle you can travel in the T2 lane.
These lights mean that you:
Straight through traffic has a red light, therefore must stop. Traffic turning left can go if it's safe to do so.
You change lanes and then see you are in a lane where the T3 rule applies. There is no other traffic in this lane. You have one passenger. What should you do?
As you only have two people in your vehicle you cannot travel in the T3 lane.
Overtaking another vehicle requires good concentration and judgement. Which of the following statements is correct?
Large, long vehicles may unexpectedly turn across your path if you don't see their indicators.

There are no red lights restricting you from turning left or right, so you may do so if it's safe, as well as go straight ahead. You must not make a U-turn unless it's permitted.
When the road is marked this way are you permitted to cross the lines and overtake?
There are double unbroken dividing lines which you are not permitted to cross to overtake, UNLESS you are overtaking a cyclist.
Which movements shown in the diagram can legally be made by the driver of the purple car?
The road has a double line but the purple car's side is solid, therefore overtaking is forbidden. The purple car can still turn into a driveway. The line is broken where there is a side street.
