Question 1336 in the bank

What should a driver verify (according to the law) before making a U-turn on a straight road section?

  1. That the vehicle doesn't carry any hazardous material.
  2. That he starts turning from the farthest right lane.
  3. Correct answer: That the turn is not made before a hill on the road.
  4. That he starts turning from the farthest left lane.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: That the turn is not made before a hill on the road.

The law forbids making a U-turn where visibility is limited, such as just before a hill crest. Drivers coming over the hill cannot see a vehicle turning across the road, and the turning driver cannot see them in time, so the risk of a collision is high. Before any U-turn, make sure you have a clear view in both directions and will not disrupt traffic.
