Because many crashes happen when a vehicle is turning left, drivers planning to make a left turn should:
|
Slow down gradually while checking the rear view mirror.
|
|
|
Move into the left lane of a multilane road.
|
|
|
Yield to oncoming vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians.
|
|
|
All of the above.
|
Explanation
When making a left turn, drive close to the center line or into the left turn lane. Gradually slow down and always use your turn signal to warn other drivers of your intentions. Before making the turn, wait for a gap in the oncoming vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians. While you are waiting keep your front wheels pointed straight ahead. This prevents you from being pushed into oncoming traffic if another vehicle crashes into you from behind.
