At a junction in Middelburg you want to turn right by car. The light showing a bicycle turns green; your own light is still red. Is it correct that you may now turn right?
- True
- ✓ False
Correct answer: False
Explanation
False — you use the bicycle light as if it applies to you. A light showing a bicycle applies only to cyclists, moped riders on the cycle path and disability vehicles; you wait for your own green light. (VekaBest p.53-55 (Hoofdstuk 3 §3.3 Verkeerslichten))
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you use the bicycle light as if it applies to you. A light showing a bicycle applies only to cyclists, moped riders on the cycle path and disability vehicles; you wait for your own green light.
