Obligation of other drivers to facilitate the maneuver

Obligation of other drivers to facilitate 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 in urban areas, to facilitate the circulation of public transport vehicles, other drivers must move laterally whenever possible or reduce their speed. In accordance with Article 53, they may even need to stop if necessary to allow public transport vehicles to complete their maneuver when leaving a designated stop.

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