Your lane is ending. Can you just move left?

Do you know the correct answer to this traffic question? Choose A, B or C and read Rijmaatje's clear explanation.

Je rijstrook eindigt. Mag je zomaar naar links? – Rijmaatje

Your lane is ending. Can you just move left? Take a calm look at the traffic situation and first choose A, B or C for yourself.

A. Yes, with your indicator on
B. No, first you need to be given room
C. Always when you see the sign

The correct answer
B. No, first you need to be given room
Signalling does not give you priority when changing lanes.

Why this matters during your driving lessons
By spotting the situation early, you can act predictably and leave yourself enough time to look properly. When practising, say out loud what you see, who has priority, and how much space you need.

Exam tip
Look well ahead, check your mirrors, and only make a decision once the whole situation is clear. Safe, controlled driving matters more than reacting quickly.
