You want to continue driving straight ahead. What is the right course of action?

Your choices 1 and 2 are correct.

In this situation you are in a queue and want to go straight. The basic rule is: keep your lane and do not “push past” just to gain a few car lengths. So answer 1 is right because you continue waiting in your lane until traffic starts moving.

If the lane to the right is clearly free and you can change lanes without forcing anyone to brake or swerve, you may move to the right (answer 2). A normal lane change is allowed when it’s safe and you indicate, check mirrors/blind spot, and keep sufficient side and following distance.

Answer 3 is wrong because overtaking the vehicle next to you and then switching lanes would be “queue jumping” and creates unnecessary risk. In slow or stopped traffic, suddenly accelerating past and cutting in is not considered proper, considerate driving, and it often leads to conflicts and collisions. A good rule of thumb: in congestion, stay in line; only change lanes if it’s clearly safe and not an aggressive attempt to overtake.
