You are driving at the speed of 80 km/h. What starting position will ensure optimal trajectory on the bend?

Description

Annex 1 § 1 pt. 2 letter f to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy of 13 July 2012 on the training of persons applying for a driving licence, instructors and lecturers (Journal of Laws, item 1019 of 14 September 2012).

Explanation

Correct answer: By the line dividing the lanes - on the right side of the roadway.

To optimally and safely negotiate the left-hand bend shown in the picture, you should adopt an initial position closer to the centre line of the road. This position provides a better view of the road beyond the bend, which is crucial at a speed of 80 km/h and with visibility limited by bushes. This allows you to spot a potential hazard, such as an oncoming vehicle, earlier and negotiate the curve more safely.
