Question 781 in the bank

What is the most important principle when turning right in an intersection?

  1. Correct answer: To start and to complete the turn close to the right edge of the road.
  2. To stay away from the road’s right edge.
  3. To turn as far as possible from the right sidewalk.
  4. To enter and exit the intersection in a wide arc to the center of the roadway.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: To start and to complete the turn close to the right edge of the road.

Before turning right, move close to the right edge of the road, make the turn in a short arc, and finish it close to the right edge of the road you enter. This leaves no gap for a cyclist or motorcyclist to squeeze in on your right and keeps you out of other lanes. Swinging wide toward the center confuses other drivers and can cause a crash.
