Can I change lanes to go straight when I find an accident while turning right?

In this situation, you can change lanes. There are regulations stating that if there is an accident ahead in your lane or temporary obstruction, you are allowed to change lanes. Precautions for changing lanes: When merging from an acceleration lane into a travel lane, observe the traffic conditions in the travel lane. When traffic is sparse, merge into the travel lane from behind normally moving vehicles. If a normally moving vehicle is following closely, control your speed and merge into the travel lane only after all vehicles have passed. Do not abruptly cut in between vehicles. You must signal in advance when changing lanes. When turning left, changing lanes to the left, preparing to overtake, leaving a parking spot, or making a U-turn, activate the left turn signal in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or pulling over to the roadside, activate the right turn signal in advance. Penalties for illegal lane changes: Driving a motor vehicle on a highway or urban expressway without following the designated lane will result in 3 demerit points. When encountering queued or slow-moving vehicles ahead, overtaking by borrowing the opposite lane or cutting into the queue will result in 2 demerit points.
