Execution of the maneuver

Execution of the maneuver is one of the topics in the Priority block of the Spanish DGT theory. Who goes first: right-of-way rules at junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections and special cases. Understanding this section well helps you answer the theory-exam questions on this topic with confidence.

In simple terms, this point of the DGT theory establishes that the maneuver must be performed with maximum caution, and the driver must immediately stop if they hear warning signals, detect the presence of another vehicle, person, or animal, or if safety conditions require it. If necessary, they must abandon the maneuver.

Priority questions use concrete situations (junctions, roundabouts, narrow sections): first work out who has right of way and why.
