exactly!
the 'correct answer' is Keep left of the hatched markings, but that is incorrect, hatched lines can be crossed id the lines are dashed, and a return arrow is an advisory warning, not an instruction
I went through 100 questions and several were poorly phrased, this one was just blatantly inaccurate... I do wonder if those writing these / setting the training have an agenda which goes beyond the legislative statutes, certainly not impressed so far

I've had a look at Know Your Traffic Signs and it says:
'Arrow indicating the direction in which to pass hatched markings and double white lines, or the route that high vehicles should take under a low arch bridge (may be reversed)"
So, it fits? The Theory Test is not just HC based.
except that you do not have to pass them on the left, the dotted lines allow you to cross the hatching, and the arrow is only advisory (if you check the original legislation)'Arrow indicating the direction in which to pass hatched markings and double white lines, or the route that high vehicles should take under a low arch bridge (may be reversed)"
So, it fits? The Theory Test is not just HC based.
so to say that you should pass them on the left is wrong, you can pass them either side...

Maybe you're overthinking this? The Theory Test pulls answers from HC, KYTS and Driving the essential skills.
Again, the answer given is the only one that fits.
It is the only answer that fits, but there is no right answer... is it too much to expect cohesion between what is taught for the test and the actual law of the country?! Again, the answer given is the only one that fits.
It is hardly surprising that we see daily misunderstandings about how to drive when people go through a test with badly worded test questions, it helps understand why people get cross if someone crosses a hatched area, because they assume that you can’t even though it is totally legal... hardly surprising that driving standards are what they are when you see the questions being asked!Edited by akirk on Sunday 9th September 13:40
