Lane Discipline
- 1/41Proper lane for regular traffic flow on a multi-lane highway
The right lane is intended for continuous travel, reducing lane weaving and keeping left lanes clear for overtaking.
Lane commonly used only for overtaking on highways
Using the left lane solely for overtaking improves traffic discipline and reduces risk from unnecessary lane changes.
Staying in the overtaking lane without a valid reason
Remaining in the left lane when not overtaking can obstruct faster-moving vehicles and violate road rules.
Best lane to position your vehicle before exiting the highway to the right
Moving early to the right allows a smooth and safe exit, avoiding abrupt cuts across lanes.
Lane positioning when intending to exit the roundabout immediately
Entering from the outer lane allows easier access to the first exit without crossing traffic paths.
Preferred lane to use when going straight through a roundabout
Using the correct lane avoids conflicts and helps maintain the circular traffic pattern of the roundabout.
Turning left at a roundabout or taking a later exit
Entering from the inner lane gives room to circulate and exit later without sudden movements.
Changing lanes while inside a roundabout
Sudden lane changes in a roundabout create confusion and increase the risk of collisions with circulating vehicles.
If turned on wrong lane at an intersection
Last-minute swerves are dangerous, it’s safer to follow the lane and correct the route later.
Purpose of a continuous white line between same-direction lanes
A solid white line indicates a lane boundary that must not be crossed, especially in critical zones.
Rule for double continuous white lines between same-direction lanes
Crossing double continuous lines is not allowed, as they indicate maximum separation and control of traffic flow.
Driver’s responsibility when in a lane with a mandatory turn arrow
Ignoring lane arrows disrupts traffic flow and may result in a traffic violation.
Vehicles allowed to use a designated bus lane
Bus lanes improve public transport efficiency and are off-limits to general traffic unless signage allows.
Lane positioning when moving slower than other vehicles on a multi-lane road
Keeping to the right lets faster traffic pass safely and avoids impeding the overall traffic flow.
Correct response when merging from a slip road into highway traffic
Merging requires adjusting speed and finding a safe gap to join the main lane without sudden stops.
Safe action after missing a highway exit
Reversing or sudden stopping on a highway is dangerous and prohibited, use the next safe exit point.
Behavior when driving in a lane that is about to close
Merging at the last moment causes sudden braking, early merging is safer and more courteous.
Lane heavy goods vehicles should generally use on a three-lane road
Larger vehicles must stay in lanes that suit their speed and size to avoid obstructing lighter, faster traffic.
Action when facing a blocked lane with a solid line next to it
Crossing a solid line is not allowed, wait until it ends or a legal maneuver is possible.
Proper lane for regular traffic flow on a multi-lane highway

Using the left lane solely for overtaking improves traffic discipline and reduces risk from unnecessary lane changes.
Steering in a curve must be done with smooth movement
Smooth handling ensures vehicle stability and prevents sudden directional shifts that may cause loss of control.
Entering a curve at high speed increases risk
Higher speeds intensify outward force, increasing the chance of rollover or veering into other lanes or pedestrians.
Appropriate time to slow down before a curve
Braking in advance provides better control through the turn and avoids instability mid-curve.
Gear selection when approaching a curve
Lower gears help control speed and maintain engine power during the turn.
Steering correction after a curve
Smooth exit from curves maintains control and reduces risk of overcorrection.
Risk of aggressive steering on curves
Sharp or rapid turns can cause swerving, especially at high speeds.
Recommended driving behavior before a steep descent
This prevents brake failure and allows engine braking to control speed.
Effect of coasting downhill in neutral
Driving out of gear disables engine braking, risking loss of control on long or steep descents.
Engine state when going downhill
Turning off the engine disables power-assisted brakes and steering, increasing the danger.
Driving on sidewalks
Sidewalks are for pedestrians and using them unnecessarily endangers foot traffic.
Parking on sidewalks
Parking on sidewalks forces pedestrians onto the road, increasing their risk of being hit.
Vehicle behavior near narrowings like bridges or roadworks
Lane reductions increase crash risks and require mutual yielding if only one vehicle can pass.
What to do when approaching lane narrowing
Slow driving allows better control when passing through constricted sections.
Pedestrian behavior on roads without sidewalks
When sidewalks are absent, pedestrians may walk on the roadway, increasing the need for driver caution.
Risk from trees and plants on sidewalks
Drivers should reduce speed and observe surroundings carefully when signs may be hidden.
Safe response to obscured traffic signs
Reduced speed allows time to interpret signs and adjust driving decisions safely.
Intersection behavior without any signage
The default rule ensures clarity and fairness in priority when no signs are present.
Action at STOP signs at intersections
Full stop is essential before entering the intersection to ensure it is safe to cross.
Rule in roundabouts
Giving way inside roundabouts prevents collision and keeps traffic flowing.
Behavior when traffic light is yellow
Proceeding through yellow is only allowed if already in the intersection or stopping suddenly is unsafe.
