You are about to make a U-turn at a point where U-turns are allowed, but a car is approaching closely from the opposite direction. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
Even where U-turns are permitted, you must not make one if it may obstruct the normal passage of pedestrians or other vehicles (Article 18(1) of the Road Traffic Act). A permitted U-turn does not oblige others to yield to you, and warning them with the horn or headlights does not change that.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Even where U-turns are allowed, you must not make one if it may disturb the normal passage of pedestrians or other vehicles (Road Traffic Act Article 18(1)). Permission to U-turn does not make oncoming traffic yield, so wait until the approaching car passes and turn when safe. Warning with the horn or headlights does not justify obstructing others.
