- B Nobody, since entering traffic has priority

You are driving a car through a multi-lane roundabout beside a tractor-trailer. What does Indiana law require?
- A Speed up to get past the truck before you reach your exit lane
- B Stay beside the truck so it can see you
- C Yield to the large vehicle, slowing or stopping if needed
- D Sound your horn to warn the truck driver
Show answer
C. Yield to the large vehicle, slowing or stopping if needed
Indiana requires drivers in a multi-lane roundabout to yield to large vehicles driving through at the same time, even slowing or stopping to let them pass safely. Smaller vehicles driving alongside trucks and buses in a roundabout create a traffic hazard.
