Question 6406
The driver of this passenger car wants to continue straight ahead, but the vehicles behind it want to turn right. What must the driver do?
- Turn right.
- Wait for the traffic light to change before continuing straight ahead.
- Continue straight ahead without waiting for the traffic light to change.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Turn right.
When the green arrow comes on, a vehicle occupying the lane that drivers going in the arrow's direction have to use must proceed in that direction, even if its driver wanted to go straight. In the image, the blue passenger car is first in the right lane, which allows traffic to go straight or right and is the only lane for turning right. If it stays stopped, it blocks those waiting behind, so it must turn with caution. To go straight, it would have needed to get into the left lane, which is for going straight only.
