Explanation
When driving on two-lane, two-way streets or highways, it is safer to make left turns from as close to the centerline as possible. This helps to ensure that you are able to see any oncoming traffic, pedestrians or bicyclists, and that they are able to see you. Additionally, it reduces the risk of cutting the corner too closely and potentially colliding with oncoming traffic.
