BDifficulty 2/5

When preparing a left turn in a car on a two-way carriageway with two lanes and no signs requiring a different position, what is the purpose of moving close to the centre line without entering opposing traffic?

Correct answer

For the flow of traffic

To facilitate traffic flow without unnecessarily obstructing following traffic, while maintaining safety. Article 75(1)(b) prescribes this position for a left turn on a two-way road. It is not the position for every turn: a right turn is approached from the right edge, and rules differ on other carriageways. Before turning, signal, check it is safe and respect priorities.
