Is it possible to change lanes to either the left or the right?
2 Answers
Change lanes to the left under reasonable circumstances. In actual driving situations, it is permissible to change lanes to either the left or the right. Below is an introduction to Subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination, officially known as the Road Driving Skills and Safe & Civilized Driving Knowledge Test. 2. Content: Includes pre-driving preparations, simulated lighting tests, starting, driving straight, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, turning at intersections, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, night driving, etc. The test content varies depending on the type of vehicle license. 3. Knowledge: Safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge, etc.
Yes, changing lanes can be done either to the left or right, but safety must always be ensured. Over the years of driving, I’ve made it a habit to check the rearview mirror and rear window first to confirm no vehicles are in the blind spot before signaling. On highways, shifting left to overtake is common, while turning right is more convenient in urban areas. Turn signals are crucial—I’ve encountered drivers who changed lanes without signaling, nearly causing a rear-end collision, which ingrained in me the habit of signaling two to three seconds in advance. During poor visibility conditions like rain or nighttime, I’m extra cautious about lane change direction, such as favoring left turns to avoid waterlogged areas on the right. Remember, safety always comes first; road conditions change rapidly, and caution never hurts—otherwise, accidents are more likely to occur.
