Look ahead, behind, left, right and left again and check your blind spots. To make a left turn, signal well before the turn and move into the far left lane when the way is clear. Unless signs or pavement markings tell you not to, always begin and end a left turn in the far left lane in your direction. Remember to signal your turn and yield to pedestrians and others using the road. Unless a sign tells you not to, you may make a right turn facing a red light as long as you first come to a complete stop and wait until the way is clear. When it is safe, complete your turn into the right-hand lane of the road you are entering. Let cyclists, limited-speed motorcycles, or moped riders go through the intersection before you turn. If you have not seen any smaller vehicles or pedestrians, check your right rear blind spot. Look ahead, left, right and left again before starting to turn. If the right-hand lane is not marked, keep as far to the right of the road as possible. To make a right turn, signal well before the turn and move into the right-hand lane when the way is clear. Unless signs or pavement markings tell you not to, always begin and end a right turn close to the right side of the road. Try not to brake and steer at the same time. Remember, drivers often lose control of vehicles and skid because they try to do more than one thing at a time. Gradually increase speed as you complete the turn. Do not turn the steering wheel with one finger or the flat palm of your hand. This is called “hand over hand steering.” When you have completed the turn, relax your grip on the steering wheel and let it slip or gently feed it through your hands to return to the straight-ahead position. Grip the wheel on the other side and continue turning. To keep full control of the vehicle, finish braking before you turn the steering wheel.įor a sharp turn, turn the steering wheel with one hand and cross the other hand over it. Slow down before you enter the turn the sharper the turn, the slower you should go. Signal your turn and look from side to side and check your blind spots to make sure the way is clear. When the way is clear, move into the proper lane, either the far right lane for a right turn or the far left lane in your direction for a left turn. To turn a corner, signal well before the turn. Always check your mirrors and over your shoulder to make sure the way is clear and you have enough space to complete the move safely. Before you turn a corner, back up, change lanes or turn around, you need to know what is beside and behind you.
