Questions Learners Have About Right Turns & Cyclists

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

Who has priority when I turn right and a cyclist is going straight in Portugal?

In Portugal, a cyclist proceeding straight in a cycle lane or on the main road generally has priority over a vehicle turning right into their path. Always yield to cyclists in this situation.

How should I position my vehicle before making a right turn in Portugal?

You should position your vehicle as close as safely possible to the right curb or the rightmost edge of your lane well in advance of the intersection. This helps to make your intentions clear and allows for the shortest turn path.

What is the 'right-hook' risk and how can I avoid it when turning right?

The 'right-hook' risk refers to the danger of colliding with a cyclist or motorcyclist who is proceeding straight alongside your right side as you turn right. To avoid this, always signal in advance, check your right mirror, and perform a head-check over your right shoulder immediately before turning.

Is signaling mandatory for all right turns in Portugal?

Yes, signaling your intention to turn right is mandatory in Portugal and should be done with sufficient anticipation to inform other road users of your maneuver. Failure to signal can result in fines and is dangerous.

Why is it important to check for pedestrians when turning right?

Pedestrians often cross at intersections. Before and during your right turn, always check for pedestrians who may be crossing the road you are turning into or the road you are leaving. They have priority at marked crosswalks.
