You want to move from lane 2 to lane 1. Car A is driving close behind you on your left in lane 1. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 2, about to move to lane 1 with the left turn signal on
- Car A is in lane 1, just behind you on the left
- Two lanes in each direction
💡 Hint
You must not change lanes if it may obstruct the normal passage of a vehicle coming in the lane you want to enter (Article 19(3) of the Road Traffic Act). A car just behind you on the left can easily hide in the mirror's blind spot, and a turn signal gives you no priority.
Answer: ②, ④
Explanation
You must not change lanes if it may obstruct a vehicle coming in the lane you are moving into (Road Traffic Act Article 19(3)). A car close behind on your left, like car A, easily hides in the mirrors' blind spot, so turn your head to check directly and change lanes with your signal on after car A has passed (Article 38(1)). Moving over right away just because your signal is on, or speeding up to cut in, risks a collision.
