BDifficulty 2/5

You drive a car and intend to turn left on a two-way carriageway without a separating line or a special layout or sign requiring a different method. Where should you position yourself before starting the turn?

Correct answer

Next to the centre line of the road, without encroaching on the oncoming lane.

Close to the carriageway centre, without encroaching into opposing traffic, under Article 75. Signal in advance, check that the turn is safe and respect opposing traffic’s priority. This positioning concerns the approach to the turn, not a claim that the left-turning path can never cross the opposing direction.
