Which driving lane should you take in the initial stage when performing a manoeuvre at the left turn shown here?
aGo as far as possible to the centre of the roadway, crossing the double solid line.
bGo to the centre of the roadway, but not crossing the double solid line.
cGo close to the right edge of the roadway.
Why?
At the start of the left-hand bend shown, move closer to the right edge of the carriageway while staying in your lane and keeping a safe distance from the shoulder. This improves your view through the bend and increases separation from oncoming vehicles. Answer A involves driving onto the visible double solid centre line, which is prohibited. Answer B leaves less safety margin from oncoming traffic and does not describe the correct initial position for this bend.
