On a one-lane-each-way road, you want to turn right at an intersection. Ahead of you, vehicles going straight are lined up waiting at a red light. What is the correct way to drive?
A right turn must be made by driving slowly along the right edge of the road, and motor vehicles and horses may not use the sidewalk or cross the centerline into the opposite lane (Articles 25(1) and 13(1) and (3) of the Road Traffic Act). Think about what to do when there is only one lane and the cars ahead are stopped.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Under Article 25(1) of the Road Traffic Act, a vehicle turning right must drive slowly along the right edge of the road as it turns, and if there is only one lane it must wait its turn behind the vehicles ahead. Driving onto the sidewalk is prohibited by Article 13(1), and crossing the centerline to drive in the opposite lane violates the lane-use rule of Article 13(3). Honking to make vehicles ahead move is not a proper use of the horn either.
