Explanation
When you enter a designated turn lane to make a left turn at an upcoming intersection, you should start signalling before you arrive at the intersection to let others know your intentions. While waiting to turn left, keep your wheels pointed straight ahead until it is safe to start your turn. If your wheels are pointed to the left, and a vehicle hits you from behind, you could be pushed into oncoming traffic.
