In Groningen you want to turn right into a narrow street on a green light. To your right a cyclist on the cycle lane is going straight on. You have already checked your mirrors and over your shoulder. What do you do?
- You go first: you have green, so the cyclist waits for you
- ✓ You let the cyclist go first and then take the turn tightly
- You let the cyclist go and then swing wide through the middle
Correct answer: You let the cyclist go first and then take the turn tightly
Explanation
False — you take the turn as for a left turn. Turning right, you take the turn so tightly that you end up on the right-hand half of the street you enter
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you confuse your green light with priority over the cyclist. Whoever turns lets straight-on traffic on the same road go first, including cyclists on the cycle lane, whatever your light shows
- Wrong: you take the turn as for a left turn. Turning right, you take the turn so tightly that you end up on the right-hand half of the street you enter
