Right of Way & Giving Way

In Malaysia, you normally drive and keep to which side of the road?

  • a.The left side
  • b.The right side
  • c.The centre
  • d.Either side

Malaysia uses left-hand traffic. Keep to the left, and let faster traffic overtake on your right.

Right of Way & Giving Way

Where overtaking is legal and safe in Malaysia, you should normally pass a vehicle on its:

  • a.Left side
  • b.Kerb side
  • c.Right side
  • d.Either side

Because Malaysia drives on the left, you overtake on the right, only when the road ahead is clearly safe. Never overtake on bends, near junctions, or over a double line.

Right of Way & Giving Way

As you approach a roundabout in Malaysia, you must give way to traffic:

  • a.Approaching from your left
  • b.Already on the roundabout, coming from your right
  • c.Waiting behind you
  • d.Leaving the roundabout

In left-hand traffic a roundabout flows clockwise, so circulating vehicles reach you from the right. Give way to any vehicle already on the roundabout before entering.

A sign or road marking showing GIVE WAY (BERI LALUAN) means you should:

  • a.Always stop fully
  • b.Take priority over other traffic
  • c.Speed up to merge
  • d.Slow down and give way to traffic that has priority, stopping if needed

A give way sign or marking means slow down and yield to traffic that has the right of way, stopping only if necessary to let it pass safely.

Right of Way & Giving Way

Before turning or changing lanes, a driver should:

  • a.Check mirrors, signal early, and check blind spots before moving
  • b.Turn at once without signalling
  • c.Rely on other drivers to react
  • d.Sound the horn instead of signalling

Checking mirrors and blind spots and signalling in good time lets others anticipate your move and prevents collisions. Signal, check, then move only when it is safe.
