Here&#8217;s an explanation of each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Slow down gradually while checking their rearview mirror<\/strong>:<br>Before making any turn, drivers should reduce their speed. Slowing down gradually allows for better control of the vehicle and gives others on the road time to react. Checking the rearview mirror is crucial because it helps the driver assess whether any vehicles behind them are too close or may pose a risk during the maneuver. It\u2019s important to slow down well before the turn, so the car is at the appropriate speed when it enters the intersection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Move into the left lane<\/strong>:<br>If the driver is not already in the leftmost lane, they must safely move into it before turning left. This ensures they are in the correct position to make the turn. Moving into the left lane involves checking mirrors and blind spots to ensure there are no other vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians in the way. Failing to change lanes before the turn could cause confusion and may lead to unsafe driving behavior, such as cutting off other drivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians<\/strong>:<br>Oncoming vehicles and pedestrians are critical to be aware of when preparing to turn left. Oncoming traffic may be approaching, and there may be pedestrians crossing the street where you plan to turn. It\u2019s important to check for both of these to avoid a collision. Pedestrians may have the right of way, and oncoming traffic could have a green light, meaning they have the right of way.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>By following all of these steps\u2014slowing down, moving into the proper lane, and being vigilant for oncoming traffic and pedestrians\u2014drivers ensure a safer and more efficient left turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When preparing to turn left, drivers should:AnswersSlow down gradually while checking their rearview mirror.Move into the left lane.Watch for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians.All of the above.
