When turning left, was the path you chose proper?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, you turn left from a lane with an arrow for turning left. At the junction you drive in a smooth curve around its centre, without cutting the corner, and you enter the right lane of the new roadway, going past a traffic island with a pedestrian crossing. This is the proper driving path. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires you to move towards the centre of the roadway before a left turn, and after the turn you must keep to the right and drive as close as possible to the right-hand edge. When turning left, you do not enter the lane for oncoming traffic on the new roadway, and you do not cut across the path of vehicles turning left from the opposite approach. Before you drive onto the crossing after the junction, you make sure that there are no pedestrians on it.
