What should you do if your lane is blocked by a vehicle turning right in heavy traffic?

When your lane is blocked by a vehicle turning right in heavy traffic, the appropriate action is to wait until the vehicle completes its turn. This ensures safety for all road users and maintains proper traffic flow. Rushing or attempting to navigate around the turning vehicle can increase the risk of accidents.

Remaining patient allows you to assess the situation clearly and respond appropriately once the road is clear. Additionally, it helps to prevent frustrating other drivers and can minimize the potential for aggressive driving behaviors that may arise from impatience. This option aligns with the fundamental principle of road safety, which is to avoid unnecessary risks and promote orderly conduct on the road.

The other choices, such as sounding your horn, squeezing past on the footpath, or making a U-turn, could lead to dangerous scenarios. These actions can distract the driver making the turn, risk a collision with pedestrians or other vehicles, and violate road rules, which are designed to ensure everyone’s safety.
