At a junction in Dordrecht you want to turn left. The oncoming driver does not indicate and drives straight ahead. You think: 'right-turn-before-left-turn, so that rule decides who goes first here.' Is that correct?
- ✓ No — that driver is not turning, so the ordinary turning rule applies: I give way to the straight-ahead traffic
- Yes — 'right-turn before left-turn' applies to every oncoming driver, turning or not
Correct answer: No — that driver is not turning, so the ordinary turning rule applies: I give way to the straight-ahead traffic
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
