Imagine you're in the blue car, wanting to turn left:
Green is turning right. There is only one lane.
Two options I see:
(1) Stay behind the green car, to the left (and behind the crossing) until they leave.
(2) Pull up to the left of the green car (as if there were two lanes).
I assume (1) is correct given there is technically only one lane, but I can't find any materials on the NSW site or driving handbook about it and (2) is something I see other people do.
(I have my license test next week)
EDIT: Solved, option (2) is the right one. see https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/roads-safety-and-rules/sharing-road-overtaking-and-merging/overtaking-safely
The only time you can overtake on the left is when the vehicle you’re overtaking is:
- waiting to turn right or make a U-turn from the centre of the road
Ninja edited the post with more diagrams, this time around there was no crossing.
