You are waiting to turn left at an intersection. A motorcycle is coming toward you from the other direction. What should you do before you turn?
A faces left at an intersection and waits to turn left. Motorcycle B approaches straight toward the intersection from the opposite direction.
Correct answer: Look carefully and wait if you are not sure, since its speed is hard to judge
Why
A driver who misjudges a motorcycle's speed can turn directly into its path. A motorcycle is only about 2 feet wide, so it can also hide behind other vehicles or in a blind spot. When you turn left, the law requires you to yield to oncoming vehicles that are close enough to be a hazard, and a motorcycle is one of those vehicles.
