Lane Use, Turning & Passing

You are turning left from a two-way street onto a one-way street. How should you position your vehicle before the turn?

  • A.In the rightmost lane
  • B.Straddling two lanes
  • C.In the lane closest to the center line or a left-turn lane, without entering oncoming lanes early
  • D.On the shoulder
Correct answer

C. In the lane closest to the center line or a left-turn lane, without entering oncoming lanes early

Why

For a left turn, position in the leftmost lawful lane or a designated left-turn lane near the center. Keep your wheels straight while waiting so a rear-end hit does not push you into oncoming traffic.
