You are driving in lane 2 of a road with three lanes each way, and car A from lane 3 is moving in right in front of you the moment it turns on its turn signal. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- Car A from lane 3 has its left turn signal on and is moving in right ahead of you
Even if the vehicle that cut in is at fault, you must regain a distance that lets you avoid it if it stops suddenly (Article 19(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Sudden braking not meant to prevent danger is prohibited, and repeated retaliatory actions can amount to reckless driving (Article 46-3).
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
Car A's lane change is wrong, but you should slow down and restore a distance at which you can avoid a collision even if car A stops suddenly (Road Traffic Act Article 19(1)). Sudden braking not done to prevent danger is prohibited (Article 19(4)), and doing things like sudden braking, tailgating or repeated horn use in succession or repeatedly to threaten others counts as reckless driving (Article 46-3). Speeding up to block car A also raises the risk of a collision.
