Question: Can you talk about how people need to make proper turns? I see a lot of unsafe maneuvers when it comes to turning.

  Answer: Drivers who turn improperly cause many traffic crashes. Move safely into the correct lane well ahead of the place where you will make the actual turn.

• Slow down before turning. Signal your intent at least 100 feet before the turn. 

• While waiting to turn, keep your wheels straight and your foot on the brake. If your vehicle is struck from behind, you are less likely to be pushed into oncoming traffic.

• Continue signaling until you begin your turn.

• Do not make sudden turns from the wrong lane.

• Watch for traffic or obstacles in the road you plan to enter.

• Always finish your turn in the correct lane.

• If the car ahead of you is signaling for a left turn, slow down and prepare to stop.

• When waiting to make a left turn at a green light with oncoming traffic, position your car into the intersection where your body is even with the curb line.
