Questions Learners Have About Lane Positioning & Curves

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Lane Positioning & Curves, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

Why is lane positioning important on narrow Dutch roads?

Correct lane positioning on narrow Dutch roads is crucial for safety, allowing you to maintain sufficient space from other vehicles, cyclists, and road hazards, especially where space is limited and visibility might be reduced.

How should I position my vehicle for a left-hand curve?

For a left-hand curve, position your vehicle closer to the center line (without crossing it) as you approach, then gently move towards the right side of your lane as you exit. This helps improve your line of sight through the bend.

What is 'cutting corners' and how can I avoid it?

Cutting corners refers to crossing the centerline on a left-hand bend or drifting wide into potential hazards or oncoming traffic on a right-hand bend. You avoid it by planning your entry and exit points, maintaining a steady speed, and ensuring your vehicle stays within its designated lane.

How much space should I give to cyclists on a narrow road?

You should always aim to give cyclists at least 1.5 meters of space when passing them, especially on narrow roads or in curves where they might be less visible or less stable. Adjust your position significantly to ensure their safety.

Does lane positioning affect my visibility when driving?

Absolutely. Strategic lane positioning directly impacts your line of sight around curves and over hills. By positioning your vehicle correctly, you can see potential hazards earlier and give yourself more time to react, significantly enhancing safety.
