Reveal the answer and DVSA explanation

Try not to hold up a queue of traffic. This might lead to other road users becoming impatient and attempting dangerous manoeuvres. If you're riding a slow-moving moped or small motorcycle and a queue of traffic has built up behind you, look for a safe place to pull in so they can pass safely.
