## Remember these other tips when you prepare to turn: 

• Reduce your speed. 

• Be alert for traffic on all sides. Take special caution to check for motorcycles. Most crashes that involve motorcycles and other vehicles are caused because the driver of the other vehicle has failed to see the motorcycle. 

• Keep your wheels straight until you actually begin to make your turn. If your wheels are turned, and you are hit from behind, your vehicle could be pushed into the oncoming lane of traffic. 

• Remember that your rear wheels will travel inside the path of the front wheels, nearer to the curb (right turn) or to traffic headed toward you (left turn). 

• Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists and mo- ped riders, especially on right turns. They are often difficult to see in traffic. 

• Be especially alert to individuals in wheel chairs, people pushing strollers, or some- one pulling a wheeled suitcase behind them. They may be closer to the ground and hidden behind a car. 

The following illustrations show the correct position of your vehicle for turns. These positions are from requirements in the law and are not just good advice. 

## RIGHT TURN: 

As you prepare to turn, get as far to the right as possible. Do not make wide, sweeping turns. Unless signs direct you to do otherwise, turn into the right lane of the road you enter.

## LEFT TURN FROM ONE-WAY ROAD INTO ONE- WAY ROAD: 

Move into the left lane when you prepare to turn. If the road you enter has two lanes, you must turn into its left lane. 

## LEFT TURN FROM ONE-WAY ROAD INTO TWO-WAY ROAD: 

Approach the turn in the left lane. As you pro- ceed through the intersection, enter the two-way road to the right of its center line, but as close as possible to the center line. Be alert for traffic that approaches from the road to the left. Motorcycles are often hard to see, which may make it difficult to judge their speed and distance from you.
