BDifficulty 2/5

A car clearly signals a permitted left turn on a two-way carriageway with one lane in each direction and no special turn layout. A following vehicle intends to overtake safely on the right. How should the car position itself to facilitate this?

Correct answer

Keep to the left of its own direction without entering or obstructing opposing traffic.

Keep to the left of its own direction, close to the direction-separating marking or the carriageway centreline if unmarked, without entering the opposing direction or interfering with its traffic, under articles 75 and 86.1. Do not move to the far left edge of the entire road. Right-side overtaking requires sufficient space and utmost care; a turn signal gives no priority or permission for dangerous manoeuvres.
