Hi Everyone,
Im thinking of taking my M2 Exit test but I have a few questions in regards to lane blocking positions and what theyre looking for on the test.
The first thing is for left turns,
1. When Im riding on a double lane road and Im riding in the right tire track of the left lane, Do I remain in the right tire track of the left lane when I approach the stop line at the interesection? Reason I ask is because in one of the things I read online it says to shift into the left tire track of the left lane at the stop line so you are visible to oncoming traffic, then once you complete the turn onto the next road (which still has two lanes), shift back into the right tire track to resume the blocking position.
2. Another thing for left turns that Im wondering about is if you're turning left from a double lane road to a one lane road, so for example you're riding in the right tire track of the left lane (currently on the double lane road) and as you approach the intersection, would you
A) move into the left tire track before you get into the intersection (so you're already in the correct blocking position for the next road)
OR
B) remain in the right tire track and once the turn is completed onto the one lane road, shift into the left tire track.
The next thing Im wondering about is right turns ,
3. So for turning right we would make sure we are in the correct blocking position (left tire track of the right lane), however when we turn right and are in the left tire track, it exposes the inside portion of the lane so cars can potentially squeeze through, in this case would it be best to move into the right tire track when you're stopped at the turn (To prevent cars from squeezing through on the inside) and then when you get onto the next road you would move back into the left tire track and resume the blocking position?
The last thing i was wondering about was the highway,
4. When they ask you to switch lanes on the highway and switch back, do they expect you to go into the very left lane (fast lane) since the center lane on the highway isn't ideal for motorcyclists?
The online notes for my turning questions I referred to was here, in case you need to see what I was talking about for the left turn and right turn questions I had:
