IN
GENERAL
See
lanes even in an unmarked road.
Where
possible, maintain at least 1 metre clearance from parked vehicles when passing.
To
drive straight, a rule of thumb is to use the 2nd lane: the 1st
lane is for parking and left turn, while the 3rd (if present) is
for overtaking and right turn.
To
turn left, change to the leftmost lane, unless road marking allows other lane
as well.
To
turn right, change to the rightmost lane, unless road marking allows other
lane as well.
Change
lanes only if you can do it safely.
Driving
in the leftmost lane, look out for pedestrians, as well as for the kerb
curves and protrusions after an intersection.
Driving
in the rightmost lane alongside a dividing strip, look out for the dividing
strip curves and protrusions after an intersection or a break in the dividing
strip.
In
a multi-lane road, keep the car strictly within your lane, maintaining
clearance of at least 1 metre between sides of your car and alongside vehicles.
Where
possible, avoid unnecessary travel in blind spots of other vehicles.
IN
PARTICULAR
Roads in a built-up area
A two-way road with 2 lanes in each
direction
To drive straight use the 2nd
lane.
On a road without a dividing line
take special care not to drive to the right of the centre of the road.
An unmarked two-way narrow road
To drive straight:
if the visible road
ahead is clear of parked cars, use the leftmost lane;
otherwise, use the
middle lane.
To turn left, use the leftmost
lane.
To turn right, use the middle lane
(do not use the rightmost lane).
Be prepared to slow down and see if
you have to pull over to the left to let the oncoming car pass. The one who
has space to pull over, he gives way.
If you and the oncoming driver have
come to a deadlock, one of you may need to reverse to let the other pass.
One-way road
Turning from a two-way road into an
unmarked one-way road, go into the lane free of parked cars.
To turn left out of a one-way road,
you can use either left, or right side of the road, whichever offers you the
best observation (unless turn arrows indicate otherwise).
To turn right out of a one-way
road, use the right side of the road.
