How to Make a Left Turn?

[StElliot]

Start the vehicle and turn on the car switch. First, pay attention to the straight-moving vehicles on the left and observe the road conditions. Turn on the turn signal and make a left turn.

When I first learned to drive, left turns really threw me off. My instructor taught me to first turn on the left turn signal at least 10 seconds in advance to alert others. Then slow down as you approach the intersection—don’t rush—scan the mirrors for traffic, and check your blind spot by turning your head to ensure no pedestrians or e-bikes suddenly dart out. Once at the intersection, wait for the green light or a safe gap before gently turning the steering wheel left, maintaining a speed of around 15-20 mph. Don’t rush through it, and straighten the wheel smoothly. Beginners tend to turn too sharply and lose control, so practicing in an empty area is crucial, especially on rainy days when the road is slippery. Remember, every turn is a chance to learn—keep practicing, and you’ll become a seasoned driver.
