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.
