Was the path of your car proper when you turned left at the intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
You are turning left at a large junction with a grass island in its centre. In the video, the car drives around this island, keeping it on its left side, and enters the right half of the intersecting road. This is the proper driving path: you do not cut the corner through the centre of the junction and you do not enter the part of the roadway intended for oncoming vehicles.
The driver must keep to the right, and before a left turn you must move towards the centre of the roadway. After the turn you take the right-hand side of the roadway you are entering. Shortening the path, that is cutting across the left half of the junction, risks a head-on collision with a vehicle turning left from the opposite direction, or with one going straight on.
