You are driving in lane 1 of an expressway with three lanes each way and need to move over to lane 3 to take the exit ahead. What is the most appropriate way?
💡 Hint
You may not change lanes if it may obstruct vehicles coming in that direction, and you must signal in advance (Articles 19(3) and 38(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Crossing several lanes at once and reversing on an expressway (Article 62) are the typical traps.
Answer: ①
Explanation
You may not change course if it may obstruct vehicles coming in that lane (Road Traffic Act Article 19(3)), so signal early (Article 38(1)) and move one lane at a time while checking. Cutting across several lanes at once makes it impossible to check each lane properly. Reversing on an expressway is extremely dangerous and prohibited (Article 62).
