Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction with traffic lights in a city in the right lane, which has a straight-on arrow painted on it, while the left lane has a left-turn arrow; the traffic lights show green. If you intend to make a U-turn, you are not in the correct lane - you make a U-turn from the far left lane. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver who intends to turn left to move towards the middle of the roadway, and the Regulation on road signs and signals states that a lane direction arrow allowing a left turn, placed in the far left lane, also means permission to make a U-turn, unless this is prohibited by sign B-23 or traffic is controlled by directional traffic lights S-3; a straight-on arrow allows you to drive from the lane only straight on. A U-turn is a 180-degree left turn, so it starts from the same lane as a left turn - from the right lane you would have to cross the path of vehicles in the left lane. You change to the left lane in good time, where the line is broken, signalling this with your indicator; if you are already waiting in the right lane, you go straight on and make a U-turn at the next junction.
