Traffic Rules: Positioning, Maneuvers, and Right-of-Way

Positioning

Drive on the right. Keep as far right as is safe, but use lanes according to direction of travel; on multi-lane roads outside settlements, keep right unless overtaking. Before turning left, take the leftmost lane; before turning right, the rightmost. A turn must not cut across oncoming traffic.

Maneuvers

Signal before every change of direction, check mirrors and blind spot, and yield to traffic already in the lane. Turning left across oncoming traffic means yielding to vehicles coming straight or turning right. At a roundabout, entering traffic yields to traffic already circulating unless signs say otherwise. Reversing is prohibited where it would endanger others, on crossings, and on motorways.

Right-of-way

At an uncontrolled junction of equal roads, yield to traffic approaching from the right. On unequal roads, traffic on the main road goes first. A vehicle turning left yields to oncoming traffic going straight or right. Tram generally outranks other vehicles on equal roads.

Traps

Questions hide the difference between "give way" and "must stop". They also test whether a driver entering a road from a yard, petrol station, or field must yield to all traffic (yes - such drivers are always the lowest priority). Watch for the trap where a driver signals left but actually turns right: the signal does not grant priority.

Rule of thumb

At any conflict, ask: who is on the main road, who is on the right, who is turning across whom. Apply in that order.
