driving the wrong way down a one way street
31 Answers
My daughter is currently learning to drive and is busy revising for her theory test. I bought an AA book with all 900+ official questions in it and there was a question on what you should do in the above situation. She picked her answer from the four options and then checked the answers and was surprised by the correct answer given. Both myself, Mr Jules and driving instructor (who is ex Police) were all surprised by the correct answer too - has the book made a mistake or is this really the correct answer?
Options were:
A. Reverse back out of the road onto two way street
B. Turn around in a side road
C. Continue to the end of the road
D. Reverse into a driveway.
I shall reveal the 'correct' answer when I have others opinions on this.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Tricky one. You can discount B and D, because there's no guarantee that there is going to be a side road or driveway. C is probably safer than A, in as much as reversing into a main road is a dangerous thing to do, but how can C be the answer if its single lane traffic and the flow of traffic is against the driver at fault.
I'm going for A.
I'm going for A.
the answer given is actually C - continue to the end of the road. We all thought that as soon as you realised your mistake, you should try to rectify it asap, either by turning into a side road or reversing into a driveway and then proceeding in the correct direction. Obviously, in a real life situation you would have to use your own judgement depending on the options open to you, but for the purposes of the theory test it looks like answer c is the way to go! - thanks everyone for your answers.
