You’re turning right onto a dual carriageway from a side road. What should you do if your vehicle is too long for the gap in the central reservation?

Explanation: When turning right onto a dual carriageway, don't stop in the gap in the central reservation unless your vehicle will fit in the gap without any overhang. When it's busy, consider turning left and using a roundabout further up the road so you don't have to cross the central reservation.
