You want to move from lane 1 to lane 2, but car A in lane 3 also has its left turn signal on. Which TWO are the safest actions? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 1, about to move to lane 2 with the right turn signal on
- Car A in lane 3 has its left turn signal on
- Lane 2 is empty
- Three lanes in each direction
💡 Hint
You may change lanes only when it does not obstruct vehicles coming in that direction (Article 19(3) of the Road Traffic Act). The trap here is two vehicles moving into the same lane from both sides at once, and signaling first does not give you priority.
Answer: ①, ⑤
Explanation
When cars from both sides move into the middle lane at the same time, they can easily collide there. A lane change must not obstruct traffic coming in that direction (Road Traffic Act Article 19(3)), so watch car A as well as lane 2, and if car A moves in first, wait and then change lanes with your signal on (Article 38(1)). Signaling first gives no priority, and racing or crossing several lanes at once is dangerous.
