Where do you look when you drive?

Remember, if you look at the side of the road, you will steer to the side of the road. Look where you want to go, particularly in an emergency or a skid, and steer there. Check your mirrors and speed when you are driving in a straight line, and when steering is less critical.

Where should I look when turning?

Whenever you turn into a side road, check the side mirror of the direction you’re turning before you turn. This is really important as there may be, for example, a cyclist passing beside you. Finally, make sure you look ahead again as you turn, ensuring it’s still safe to go.

What is the proper position to begin a right turn?

As you prepare to turn, reduce speed and stay as far to the right as possible. Begin the turn in the lane nearest to the right-hand curb and end the turn in the lane nearest the right-hand curb. Give turn signal. Yield to pedestrians who may be crossing your path.

Should you brake turning?

You shouldn’t brake while turning as this can cause skidding. Basically, asking your tires to slow down and turn at the same time may exceed their traction. The same is true for accelerating while turning. Once you have completed the turn, you can slowly accelerate.

How do you do a proper turn?
