Question 297 · Car theory test
In general, when turning right on a two-way road, where should a driver position the vehicle?
Pick an answer to test yourself.
Correct answer
Just left of the middle of the road.
Official explanation
In general, the correct position to be in before turning right is just left of the centre of the road. Where the road is wide enough, this position allows traffic coming from behind and going straight ahead to pass safely on the left. The driver should be alert for road markings which direct them to follow a certain course.
