Not quite. The answer is When it's safe to pull in, do so, and let other vehicles pass.

On narrow lanes, it's easy for a slow-moving vehicle to hold up traffic. If you see a queue of vehicles behind you, don't panic. Pull in when it's safe to do so, and let them go by.

Not quite. The answer is Well behind the large vehicle

Not quite. The answer is Allow it to overtake safely.

If a driver behind you wants to overtake even though you are travelling at the speed limit, allow the driver to overtake when it is safe to do so. Don't try to block the person or be pushed into breaking the law yourself.

Not quite. The answer is To keep a good distance from the vehicle in front

Not quite. The answer is To avoid confusing other road users
