You are waiting to turn left at an intersection. An oncoming motorcycle is coming toward you with its right turn signal flashing. What should you do?
A waits to turn left at an intersection while motorcycle B approaches from the opposite direction. The neutral card states that B’s right turn signal is flashing.
Correct answer: Wait until you are sure the rider is turning, since motorcycle signals are often left on by mistake.
Why
Left turns are a major danger for riders: the manual cites national data showing that in 2015, 41 percent of fatal motorcycle crashes involved another vehicle turning left. Motorcycle turn signals are often close to the headlight or taillight, which makes them harder to see. Before any left turn, look for motorcycles on purpose, not only for cars.
