You want to enter a roundabout and leave by the road straight ahead. Bicycle A is at the edge of the entry just ahead of you, and car B is approaching in the circulating lane from the left. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is about to enter the roundabout and leave by the road opposite (at the top)
- Bicycle A is at the edge of the entry just ahead of your car
- Car B is approaching your entry in the circulating lane from the left
When entering a roundabout, yield to vehicles already circulating (Article 25-2(2) of the Road Traffic Act). When passing a bicycle going the same way you must leave enough distance to avoid a collision (Article 19(2)), and also keep in mind that an intersection is a place where overtaking is prohibited (Article 22(3)).
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
A vehicle entering a roundabout must slow down or come to a temporary stop and yield to car B already circulating (Road Traffic Act Article 25-2(2)). When passing a bicycle going the same way you must keep enough distance to avoid a collision (Article 19(2)), so entering side by side with it on a narrow entry or tailgating it is dangerous, and a roundabout is an intersection, so you may not overtake inside it (Article 22(3)1). Using the horn to make the cyclist move aside is also wrong.
