The sheet records a dangerous action that impeded traffic

The feedback says dangerous action and impeding traffic on a left turn. The instructor offers possible scenarios rather than footage of the exact event. Keep that distinction clear when using the result to guide practice.

Ordinary green still requires yielding on a left turn

Being in a left-turn lane does not make a circular green a protected arrow. Yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, and choose a gap that lets you turn without forcing others to brake or evade.

Make the approach and movement smooth

The sheet also mentions C4 acceleration and deceleration. Practise controlled entry, stopping and takeoff so the turn is predictable. Smooth control supports a safe gap decision; it does not make an inadequate gap acceptable.
