New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

A long vehicle ahead displays a 'Do not overtake turning vehicle' sign and is turning. What does that sign mean for you?

The answer

  • It applies only to vehicles behind you
  • It is advisory only
  • You may pass on either side while it turns
  • You must not overtake it while it is turning, even if it moves into another lane Correct

Why that's the answer

A long vehicle needs more than one lane to turn. Where the 'Do not overtake turning vehicle' sign is displayed you must not overtake it while it is turning, even though it may swing wide across lanes.
