Exam tips
- →In every situation, first look at the colour and direction of each vehicle.
- →Always ask yourself first: is there a traffic light or a sign? Only then think about right before left.
- →If no situation is clearly regulated, the answer is often: you have to reach an agreement.
- →Think calmly – the tricky cases are designed to trip you up.
Good luck with your exam – you can do it! 🛵
