Safe DrivingQuestion 73 of 80
When making a left turn, you should:
a.Reach the center of the intersection before starting the turn to keep the rear from cutting the corner
b.Start turning as soon as you enter the intersection
c.Turn from the right lane
d.Cut the corner tightly to save time
Explanation
In a left turn, move to the center of the intersection before turning so the rear wheels, which off-track, do not cut across into oncoming lanes or over the corner. Starting the turn too early can put the rear of the bus into the path of oncoming or crossing traffic. Take left turns wide and controlled.
