What must you do when leaving the edge of the roadway?

When leaving the edge of the roadway, it is important to always check for traffic coming from behind and to switch on your direction indicator. This ensures that you do not endanger or hinder other road users.

Simply looking into the rear-view mirror is not enough by itself. Following these steps helps prevent accidents and is required by German traffic law.
