  1. A
    In the left-hand lane, crossing over to the right just before making the turn
  2. In the right-hand lane in good time before reaching the junctionCevap
  3. C
    In the left-hand lane at all times until turning, in accordance with the general keep-left rule
  4. D
    In the central lane, sweeping out towards the left to create a wider turning circle

Cevap

Position your vehicle in the right-hand lane in good time before reaching the junction.
According to The Highway Code (Rule 143), traffic on a one-way street may use the full width of the road. When intending to turn right, drivers should choose the correct lane in good time and position their vehicle in the right-hand lane, unless signs or road markings direct otherwise. This ensures predictable lane discipline and allows straight-ahead or left-turning traffic to pass safely on the left.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the carriageway configuration and planned destination
Recognise that the road is a multi-lane one-way street and the destination requires turning right at the upcoming junction.
One-way streets permit vehicles to use the full width of the carriageway, and lane positioning is determined well in advance by your intended exit direction.
2
Apply the Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine to move into the right-hand lane early
Establish your vehicle in the right-hand lane safely ahead of the intersection.
Highway Code Rule 143 states that traffic may use the full width of the road in one-way systems, and drivers turning right must position their vehicle in the right-hand lane in good time to allow traffic travelling straight or turning left to flow freely.
