You are driving along a major road and intend to turn right at a T-junction ahead. Traffic is heavy and oncoming vehicles make it difficult and potentially unsafe to move into the centre of the road to wait for a gap. What should you do?

Explanation

The Highway Code Rule 44 advises taking extra care at junctions and highlights that if moving into the middle of the road to turn right is difficult or dangerous, you should not attempt it. Instead, you should remain in your normal driving position, signal in good time, and only move towards the centre when it is clearly safe. Stopping in the middle of the road with wheels turned, straddling the centre line, or squeezing into limited space increases collision risk, especially from oncoming or overtaking traffic.
