Reglas sobre la circulación en el lado izquierdo de la carretera

Explicación Simple

No puedes manejar por el lado izquierdo de la carretera si no puedes ver bien, especialmente en curvas o al acercarte a un cruce. También hay lugares como puentes y túneles donde es peligroso hacerlo si no ves claramente.

Es como cuando intentas ver un partido de fútbol detrás de una multitud; si no puedes ver bien, es mejor esperar a que todos se muevan para evitar chocar con alguien.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está manejando en una carretera con curvas. Al acercarse a una curva cerrada, decide adelantar a otro coche, pero no puede ver si viene otro vehículo en dirección contraria. Debería esperar a que la curva se aclare para evitar un accidente.
