When making a turn, what sequence should you check traffic?

• A. To the left, left again, then right
• B. To the right, left, then right
• C. To the right, right, then left
• D. To the left, right, then left again

Answer: (D)

Scanning traffic in this order keeps you aware of hazards as you begin and complete the turn. Start by looking to the left to check for vehicles on the cross street you’re entering and any pedestrians or cyclists who might be there. Then look to the right to see any oncoming traffic or vehicles that could interfere as you move into the new street. Finally, look left again to confirm that nothing has changed and that your path remains clear as you finish the turn. This sequence helps you catch hazards that could appear at different moments during the maneuver, reducing the chance of a surprise collision.
