At a T-intersection you are waiting for the signal in lane 1 to turn left. Car A in lane 2 turns on its left signal and tries to cut in front of you. Which TWO statements are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is waiting in lane 1 behind another car to turn left
- Red light ahead
- Car A in lane 2 has its left signal on and is trying to move in front of you
💡 Hint
You must not cut in front of a vehicle that is stopped or driving slowly as required by law (Article 23 and Article 22(2)1 of the Road Traffic Act). Still, closing the gap or starting off abruptly to block a driver in the wrong easily leads to an accident, and a turn signal gives no priority either.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
You may not cut in front of a car that is stopped or driving slowly as required by law (Road Traffic Act Article 23, Article 22(2)1), so car A trying to move in front of you while you wait at a red light is in the wrong. Even so, closing the gap, honking continuously or pulling away sharply can cause a collision; do not fight, watch car A and move off. You have no duty to back up for it.
