You are driving a passenger car in lane 2 of a road with three lanes in each direction (not an expressway). You have slowed down a lot while looking for your way, and you may obstruct the normal flow of vehicles behind you. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
There is a rule on which lane to move to if your slow speed may obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles (Article 16(2) of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act). Think about whether the first lane, hazard lights or the roadside area actually remove the obstruction to traffic flow.
Answer: ④
Explanation
If you are moving slowly in your lane and may obstruct the normal flow of other vehicles, you must move to the lane on the right (Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act Article 16(2)). A slow car moving into lane 1 obstructs traffic even more, and just turning on hazard lights and staying put does not solve the problem. Driving in the roadside area is prohibited.
