Laying laminate when the wall is not straight

[jff]

Hi,

I am laying laminate floor for the first time and I think that the walls in the room are not straight. In that case, should I let the laminate get away from the wall? Or should I continue with the 1cm expansion gap as shown in the picture below?

you follow the wall to within a couple off mm off 12mm

yes as long as the step is less than 5mm and if your gap is 8-12mm tapering your room needs to be no more than around 4m
any greater than 5 mm taper the ends
