DGT rules in English
Manoeuvres, priority, and road position
These rules decide who goes first, when to wait, and how to make manoeuvres safely.
Right of way is a sequence question
Work through the priority rules in order — don't jump to yield-to-the-right before checking for signs and signals.
Watch for: The question asks who goes first at an intersection or crossing.
STOP means stop before judgment
A STOP sign means a full stop — not a slow roll — before you decide if it is safe to go.
Watch for: The question mentions a STOP sign or stop line.
Overtaking starts with return space
Only start overtaking if you can see enough road to complete the pass and return safely.
Watch for: The question mentions overtaking, passing, oncoming traffic, curves, or limited visibility.
Maneuvers never create priority
When you turn, change lanes, or join traffic, you must give way to traffic that is already moving.
Watch for: The question mentions a lane change, turn, reverse, or joining traffic.
Parking questions are obstruction questions
Ask whether a parked vehicle would block visibility, traffic flow, crossings, or access.
Watch for: The question asks whether stopping or parking is allowed near a crossing, junction, or lane.
Narrow passages require the safer flow
On narrow roads or single-track sections, check signs first — then use the rule that creates least risk.
Watch for: The question mentions a narrow road, obstruction, slope, or bridge where two vehicles cannot pass.
Intersections demand observation before commitment
Check controls, priority, pedestrians, and whether the exit is clear before entering an intersection.
Watch for: The question mentions entering, crossing, or turning at an intersection.
