give way rules

Two very important give way rules

There are two give way rules you definitely need to know about:

1. When you are turning right, you need to give way to the cars going straight from the opposite side of the road (oncoming traffic).   

It doesn’t matter if you are on the main road or side road, or if you are facing a stop sign or a give way sign.

2. When two cars from the opposite side of the road are turning to the same road, the car that is turning left (or is closer to the corner) should go first. 

Again, it doesn’t matter if you are on the main road or side road, or if you are facing a stop sign or a give way sign.

When two cars from the opposite side of the road are turning right at the same, if:

a. The road is wide and the cars can pass each other safely without hitting each other, they both turn at the same time.

b. The road is narrow and the cars will hit each other if they turn at the same time, then it’s a matter of courtesy. Someone has to stop for another car to pass first.
