Swiss Driving Theory · RTA / TRO
Swiss driving theory: select your lane in good time before junctions, indicate every lane change, give priority to oncoming traffic when turning left, never reverse on motorways.
Select your lane in good time based on where you want to go next – ideally about 100 m before an intersection in town, 200 m outside town.
Indicate clearly before changing lanes, and check your mirrors and blind spot every time.
Turning right: keep to the right edge of your lane, watch for cyclists in your blind spot
Turning left: move to the centre of the road, give priority to oncoming traffic
On a one-way street, you may turn left from the left edge
Always indicate in good time and switch the indicator off after the manoeuvre
U-turns (turning around) are forbidden where they would endanger others, on motorways, semi-motorways, in tunnels, on level crossings and where signs prohibit them.
Reversing is allowed only over short distances and never on motorways. Always look back – mirrors alone are not enough.
