You want to go straight in lane 2 on a green light. Bicycle A ahead at the right edge intends to turn left at this intersection. Which TWO statements are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 2 and wants to go straight
- Green light
- Bicycle A ahead at the right edge intends to turn left
The way bicycles and personal mobility devices turn left at an intersection is set separately from that of motor vehicles (Article 25(3) of the Road Traffic Act). A bicycle is also a 'vehicle' that must follow signals, and a motor vehicle passing beside it has a duty to keep a safe gap (Article 19(2)).
Answer: ①, ②
Explanation
The rider of a bicycle or personal mobility device who wants to turn left at an intersection must keep to the right edge in advance, move slowly and use the edge of the intersection (Road Traffic Act Article 25(3)). So the statement that it must move to lane 1 like a car is wrong. Car drivers must watch for bicycles and personal mobility devices going the same way and keep enough distance when passing them (Article 19(2)), so honking and speeding up is wrong. A bicycle is also a vehicle and must obey signals.
