You are waiting to turn left at a multilane intersection, and opposing traffic is blocking your view. You should:
|
Wait for the opposing driver to wave you across the intersection.
|
|
|
Accelerate rapidly when the first lane you need to cross is clear.
|
|
|
Wait until you can see all the lanes you need to cross before going ahead with your turn.
|
|
|
Edge your car into each lane of opposing traffic as soon as it clears.
|
Explanation
Whenever you cross traffic, you need enough space to do it safely. The amount of space you need to cross traffic depends on the road, oncoming traffic and weather conditions. Never start a left turn until you can see all the lanes you need to cross are clear, and you can safely make the turn.
