How should you handle a tight corner where oncoming traffic has the right of way?

• A. Accelerate to beat the oncoming vehicle through the turn.
• B. Yield to oncoming traffic, slow down, and use safe positioning; consider pulling to the curb if safe.
• C. Stop in the middle of the lane until the other vehicle passes.
• D. Ignore the right of way and proceed as if the road is clear.

Answer: (B)

When a tight corner is ahead and the oncoming traffic has the right of way, you must prioritize their path and move in a way that creates space for them. Slow down early and control your speed so you can react to what’s in front of you. Position the vehicle safely to the side as much as the space allows—ideally toward the curb if you can do so without brushing it or obstructing traffic—so the other vehicle has the room it needs to complete the turn. This approach reduces the risk of a collision and keeps you in control through the corner.

Rushing to beat the other vehicle is unsafe, stopping in the middle of the lane can block traffic and cause confusion, and ignoring the right of way creates a high risk of a crash. Yield, slow, and use safe positioning to navigate the turn.
