#11 - Left turns
When preparing for your DMV test, mastering left turns is essential. Left turns can be tricky due to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. Focus on the right signals: 1. **Use Your Signals**: Always signal your intention to turn left at least 100 feet before the intersection. 2. **Check Your Surroundings**: Look for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians. Make sure it's safe before you make the turn. 3. **Position Your Vehicle**: As you approach the intersection, position your vehicle in the leftmost lane to prepare for the turn. 4. **Yield to Others**: You must yield to oncoming traffic, unless you have a protected left turn signal. 5. **Complete the Turn Safely**: Once the way is clear, turn smoothly into the intersection, ensuring you maintain control. 6. **Practice Makes Perfect**: Familiarize yourself with the specific routes in your area that require left turns, including any complex intersections. By prioritizing these aspects, you can increase your chances of passing the driving test and ensuring safe driving habits that will last a lifetime.
