Explanation
When turning left at an intersection or into a driveway, drivers must always yield to oncoming traffic that is approaching closely from the opposite direction. This is because the oncoming traffic has the right of way and the turning vehicle must wait for a safe gap to complete the turn. Failing to yield to oncoming traffic could result in a serious collision.
