Two vehicles approach one another at an intersection. Both vehicles want to turn left. What must both drivers do in the normal case?

When two vehicles approach an intersection from opposite directions and both want to turn left, the general rule in German traffic law is that they turn in front of one another. This means each driver turns to the left side of the other vehicle at the intersection. There is no need for special communication or waiting to turn behind one another in this situation. Understanding this helps to keep traffic flowing smoothly and avoids confusion. So, always remember: opposite-direction left turns are made in front of each other.
