You have manoeuvred into the left lane by mistake, but would like to take a right turn. What is the right course of action?

Your answer is correct because if you have mistakenly moved into the left lane but intend to turn right, German traffic rules require you to continue driving straight ahead or turn left instead of attempting to change lanes abruptly or turn right from the left lane.

Changing lanes suddenly or turning right from the left lane is dangerous and against regulations because it can confuse other drivers and cause accidents. Instead, you should follow the intended traffic flow and take a legal maneuver, such as continuing straight or turning left as indicated by the lane markings and traffic rules.

This helps maintain predictable traffic movement and safety at intersections. Always choose the correct lane for your intended maneuver ahead of time to avoid such situations.
