Questions Learners Have About Junctions & Turning GB

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Junctions & Turning GB, including how questions match the official theory exam in Great Britain, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the main rules for turning right at a junction in Great Britain?

When turning right, you must give way to oncoming traffic and any pedestrians crossing the road you are entering. Position your vehicle correctly in the centre of the road (or right-hand lane if marked) and wait for a safe gap, without cutting the corner.

Can I wait in a yellow box junction if my exit is blocked?

You MUST NOT enter a yellow box junction unless your exit road or lane is clear. The only exception is if you are turning right and are only stopped by oncoming traffic or other vehicles waiting to turn right.

How should I approach an unmarked crossroads?

At an unmarked crossroads, no one has priority. You should slow down, look carefully both ways, and be prepared to stop. Only proceed when it is safe to do so, giving way to any traffic already emerging or pedestrians.

What is 'safe gap selection' when emerging from a side road?

Safe gap selection means ensuring there is enough time and space to join the main road without causing other road users to slow down, swerve, or stop. This requires accurate observation of speed and distance of approaching vehicles.

Are there different rules for turning left vs. turning right in terms of road position?

Yes. When turning left, you should keep well to the left of the road. When turning right, you should generally keep to the centre of the road or the right-hand lane if marked, to allow vehicles to pass on your left if they are continuing straight or turning left.

Why are junctions often tricky for learner drivers?

Junctions involve complex decision-making, observation, anticipation, and correct road positioning, often under pressure. Learners must accurately judge speed and distance, understand priority rules, and react to unpredictable actions of other road users, which requires significant practice.
