Cork Road Junction Practice
Turn right onto the main road. An intermediate scene set at Cork Road · R680 in Waterford.
The situation
Traffic can approach from both directions. Check both ways and wait for a gap that lets you complete the turn.
What makes it tricky
The main road is occupied. Turning now would cross the path of another vehicle.
The rule
Do not rely on another driver’s indicator. Wait until the vehicle’s movement confirms what it is doing. You must not force another road user to brake or swerve.
