Questions Learners Have About Left Turns

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Left Turns, including how questions match the official theory exam in Portugal, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the correct positioning before making a left turn in Portugal?

In Portugal, when preparing to turn left, you must approach with due anticipation and position your vehicle as close as possible to the left limit of the roadway or the center axis, depending on whether the road is one-way or two-way.

Do I always have priority once I start a left turn at an intersection?

No, this is a common misconception. Generally, when turning left at an intersection in Portugal, you must yield to all oncoming traffic that is proceeding straight or turning right, and also to pedestrians who are crossing the road you intend to enter.

How should I signal for a left turn?

You must activate your left indicator with sufficient anticipation before making the turn to clearly inform other road users of your intentions. This is crucial for safety and compliance with Portuguese traffic law.

What is the correct way to complete a left turn into a new road?

After yielding and executing the turn, you must enter the new road in the lane designated for your direction of travel. If both roads are two-way, you should make the maneuver by keeping the center of the intersection to your left.

Can I wait in the middle of an intersection to turn left?

Yes, you can wait in the middle of an intersection if necessary to yield to oncoming traffic, but you must do so without obstructing the flow of perpendicular traffic. Position your vehicle safely and ensure you do not block the intersection.
