Correct answer
must respect the priority of vehicles travelling in the other lane.
When the driver of a vehicle intends to move sideways, encroaching on another lane, it is essential to follow a series of steps to carry out this manoeuvre safely and in accordance with traffic regulations. The steps to follow are as follows: Observe carefully: Before carrying out the manoeuvre, the driver must carefully observe their surroundings to make sure they can carry out the movement without obstructing or endangering other road users. Signal: After checking that the manoeuvre can be carried out safely, the driver must signal their intention to change lanes. This is done using the indicator or, failing that, extending the arm in the corresponding position. Carry out the manoeuvre: The sideways movement manoeuvre must be carried out bearing in mind that vehicles travelling in the lane being entered have priority. The driver must therefore give way to them. It is essential to begin the movement with sufficient notice and gradually, avoiding sudden swerves.
