At a junction in Rijssen you want to turn right. You have looked ahead, checked the oncoming traffic on the left, and your indicator is on. To the right of the road there is a cycle lane. What do you still do before you turn?
- Nothing more: you only have to give way to oncoming traffic
- Nothing more: looking ahead and to the left is enough when turning right
- ✓ Look to the right once more for a cyclist going straight ahead
Correct answer: Look to the right once more for a cyclist going straight ahead
