Wait for the turn lane to begin and check for drivers entering early.
Each section below follows an explanation or demonstration in the video. Select a section to play from that point, then practise the skill with appropriate supervision.
The vehicles cross the centre markings to reach the turn lane early. Saving a few seconds at an advance signal does not justify entering the opposing side or cutting the median. Approach the marked entrance instead.
The final example explains why a new lane is not necessarily empty: someone may already have entered it improperly. Check beside you before moving over; another driver’s mistake does not make your lane change safe.
