Q & A

Why is it important to let oncoming traffic through when the traffic light is green?

It’s important because allowing oncoming traffic to pass ensures safety and prevents blocking the intersection, which could lead to accidents or traffic delays.

What should you check for before making a turn at an intersection?

Before making a turn, you should check over your shoulder for pedestrians and cyclists to ensure they are not in your path. Additionally, look for oncoming traffic.

How far into an intersection should you drive before stopping?

You should drive up to the middle of the intersection, about 1 meter before it, to avoid blocking the flow of traffic and allow enough space for vehicles turning in the opposite direction.

What is the general rule when choosing a lane at an intersection with multiple lanes?

When there are multiple lanes at an intersection, you can choose the most suitable lane for your direction of travel, such as turning right if that's the most logical choice.

What is the 'keep right' rule, and when does it apply?

'Keep right' is a mandatory rule that requires drivers to drive on the right side of the road. It applies when you're outside of a built-up area, to ensure smooth traffic flow and safety.

Why is it suggested to stop a third of the way into an intersection when turning?

Stopping a third of the way into an intersection helps ensure that other vehicles have enough space to turn and that you are not blocking traffic. It also gives you a clear view of the intersection.

What is the benefit of leaving your indicator on when preparing for a turn?

Leaving the indicator on signals your intentions to other drivers, ensuring they are aware of your move and can adjust their driving accordingly. It’s a simple and effective way to improve safety.

How should you approach a left turn when there are no lane markings?

When turning left without lane markings, drive up to the middle of the intersection and ensure there’s enough space for the vehicle opposite to turn. Always give enough room for others.

What should you do if another driver tries to overtake you in a tight space?

It’s important to stay calm and let the other driver pass if they are attempting to overtake you. There’s no need to rush or block them, as being patient can help prevent unnecessary conflicts.

What does the speaker mean by the 'middle' of the intersection?

The 'middle' of the intersection refers to the area roughly 1 to 2 meters from the center point of the intersection where you should stop while making turns, allowing enough space for other vehicles to navigate.
