What should be the road positioning of a vehicle that escorts a vehicle carrying oversize freight?

1. The positioning of the escorting vehicle depends on the width of the freight rather than on the type of road.
2. On a one-way roadway he should drive before the freight carrying vehicle, and on a two-way roadway he should drive behind him.
3. Correct answer: On a two-way roadway he should drive before the freight carrying vehicle, and on a one-way roadway he should drive behind him.
4. The escorting vehicle should always drive before the freight carrying vehicle.

WhyOn a two-way road the escort vehicle drives in front of the oversize load to warn oncoming traffic. On a one-way road it drives behind, to warn those catching up.
