Follow a real approach, waiting position and gap decision at a busy light.
Follow a real approach, waiting position and gap decision at a busy light.
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 approach includes uphill and downhill speed adjustments. Check lane position and rear traffic, and prepare to brake before the downhill slope carries you above the limit. This preparation happens before the turn-lane entry.
The driver signals, checks mirrors and shoulder-checks into the left lane. No advance arrow appears, so the ordinary green requires yielding to oncoming traffic. Use an appropriate waiting position rather than treating green as a protected turn.
While waiting, watch the signal, oncoming vehicles and crossing. After the red SUV passes, the driver refreshes the shoulder check and completes the turn. The decision follows the actual traffic movement, not a preselected car count.
