You want to drive straight ahead. Where should you position yourself in this situation?

In situations where you want to drive straight ahead at an intersection with multiple lanes, you must position your vehicle according to the lane markings and the intended direction. If the right lane is designated for turning right only—as indicated by arrows painted on the road—you must not use it to go straight ahead. You should instead position yourself in the lane that allows driving straight, which is typically the next available lane to the left (often the left lane or a center lane depending on the road layout).

In this scenario, the correct answer is to stay on the right behind the truck because, based on what you selected and the quiz answer, the current lane still allows for going straight ahead. Sometimes, the right lane is marked for both straight ahead and turning right; in that case, you may use it if you intend to go straight. However, you must always observe the road markings and move to a lane that permits your intended direction before the intersection.

Keeping the correct lane position ensures safety, avoids unnecessary lane changes close to intersections, and aligns with German traffic laws regarding proper lane usage. Always stay alert to changing lane markings as you approach intersections, as they might change from allowing both straight and right movements to right turn only, requiring an early lane change if you wish to continue straight.
