Explanation
If you are in the middle of an intersection waiting to make a left turn, keep your wheels pointed straight ahead. This prevents your vehicle from being pushed into oncoming traffic if you are rear-ended. Stay to the right of the centerline without entering the lane of oncoming vehicles. Wait until there is no oncoming traffic and it is safe to complete the turn.
