R Turning at junctions
R Driving on slowing-down lanes
R Driving on lanes adjacent toslowing-down

The driver is responsible forch oosing theright
speed and observing other road users. This
applies in particular tojunctions, roundabouts and
tra1c lights, as route-based speed adap tation
does not brake theve hicle toa standstill.

cases:
R Ifth e turn signal indicator is switched o.

that thero ute event is not releva nt
