Explanation
When making a left turn, use your turn signal to make your intentions clear, and yield the right-of-way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction. Keep your wheels pointed straight ahead until it is safe to start the turn. If the front wheels are pointed to the left and a vehicle hits you from behind, you could be pushed into oncoming traffic.
