What should a driver always do before making left a U-turn?
- Make sure that the proper gear is shifted and that the headlights are turned on.
- Correct answer: Make sure that the turn is permitted and that it doesn’t cause any traffic disturbance.
- Alert about his intention by turning on the four direction indicators.
- Position the vehicle on the right of the road from which he intends to turn.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Make sure that the turn is permitted and that it doesn’t cause any traffic disturbance.
A U-turn is a dangerous maneuver, because the vehicle crosses the opposite direction of travel and moves slowly across the road. So first make sure that the turn is permitted at that place, and that you can perform it without disturbing traffic or endangering others. Hazard lights (the four direction indicators) are not a turn signal, and positioning on the right of the road is not the correct preparation for a left turn.
