Turning Manoeuvre
This section deals with the guidelines to be followed while performing a turning manoeuvre. It includes the guidelines for left and right turning manoeuvres.
Guidelines for Turning Left
- If there is no queue, then occupy the left lane at least 30m before the turning. If there is a queue (especially at intersections), then occupy the left turning lane well in advance before joining the queue as shown below in the image.
- You should not bypass the queue and force the vehicle into the queue as this may cause inconvenience to other vehicle and is also an unsafe practice.
- Ensure that the turning path is clear and no one is coming up behind your vehicle on your left side.
- Give the left turning signal.
- After completing the turn, slowly and smoothly merge your vehicle with the traffic.
