When driving on a two-way road and taking a left-hand curve, where should we position the vehicle for safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to stay as close as possible to the right edge. When taking a left-hand curve, it is essential to keep to the right edge of the roadway or of our lane. This is done to: 1) Keep the greatest possible lateral distance from vehicles traveling in the opposite direction, avoiding the risk of a head-on collision. 2) Improve the viewing angle through the curve. Keeping to the left edge is extremely dangerous because we would enter the opposite lane, and driving in the center reduces the margin for error.
