Follow the waiting, yielding and steering decisions in this left-turn example.
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 driver sees pedestrians and an opposing vehicle before green. Enter only an appropriate waiting position when permitted, keeping pedestrian routes clear. The opposing right-turning vehicle still needs to complete its movement; do not creep forward simply because it is also waiting.
The light changes while the turn is already underway. Keep watching the oncoming side and the pedestrian crossing, and clear when the path is safe. A changing signal never requires driving through a pedestrian’s path to hurry out.
The student steers toward the opposing lane before correcting. The replay links this to excessive steering and the point where the turn began. Practise a smoother path into the correct lane, adding steering as needed instead of cutting the corner.
