You are going straight in lane 2 on a green light. Car A, ahead in lane 1, turns on its right signal just before the intersection and tries to move into your lane. Which TWO are the safest actions? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- Green light ahead
- Car A in lane 1 has its right signal on just before the intersection
A driver who forces a lane change just before an intersection is in the wrong (Article 19(3) of the Road Traffic Act), but you must drive so as to avoid an accident regardless of the other driver's fault (Article 48(1)). Blocking or protesting only raises the risk of a collision, and once a vehicle gets in front of you, you need a safe distance again.
Answer: ①, ⑤
Explanation
Car A forcing a lane change right before the intersection is dangerous (Road Traffic Act Article 19(3)), but to avoid a crash it is safest for you to slow down and give it room (Article 48(1)). Once car A is in front, you must again keep enough distance to avoid it if it stops suddenly (Article 19(1)). Speeding up to block it, honking continuously or swerving sharply all raise the risk of a crash.
