Just before the junction you notice you are in the straight-ahead lane, while you need to turn left. A solid line separates the lanes. What do you do?
- ✓ Go straight on and find another route to the left further on
- Cross the line to the left lane, signalling
- Turn left from my lane anyway, the arrow is only advice
Correct answer: Go straight on and find another route to the left further on
Explanation
False — the arrow in your lane is not advice. It sets which direction you may take from that lane; you must follow it. (Theorie hoofdstuk 7 — Manoeuvres: wegrijden en voorsorteren)
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: signalling does not make the line crossable. You may not cross a solid line between lanes; follow your lane's direction and find another route afterwards.
- Wrong: the arrow in your lane is not advice. It sets which direction you may take from that lane; you must follow it.
