Two
Vehicles coming towards each other and turning
right When two vehicles are coming
towards each other at an intersection and both
are turning right,
NO ONE HAS TO GIVE WAY.
This is because neither vehicle will cross the
other's path. Both vehicles can therefore turn
safely.
Leaving
the path of the centre line If you are leaving the path
of the centre line, you must give way to vehicles
following the centre line.
Vehicles leaving the path of the centre line are
said to be turning.
Therefore the GIVE WAY rules apply.
