How to Make a Left Turn

To make a left-hand turn, it is recommended to execute an L-shaped turn, which involves crossing an intersection in two steps.

This method is safer where there is a large volume of traffic or if you have to move through several lanes of traffic..

You can also use the following technique to make a turn:

1. Look over your shoulder to see if there is a vehicle approaching and to judge its speed and distance.
2. Make a left-hand turn signal.
3. Make sure motorists have seen your signal.
4. Move to the left and occupy the space of a vehicle.
5. Turn as soon as you can once the way is clear.
