Passing target: 70% (14/20)
Driver A has a green light and waits inside the intersection to turn left while oncoming cars pass. Driver A has already turned the front wheels to the left. A car behind does not stop in time and hits Driver A's car. Where is Driver A's car most likely to go?
A waits inside the intersection to turn left on green, while oncoming B approaches. C is immediately behind A; a detail shows A’s front wheels angled left, and the card states that C has hit A from behind.
Correct answer: To the left, into the path of the oncoming cars in the other lane
Why
You may enter the intersection on a green light to wait for a left turn if no vehicle ahead of you is waiting to turn left. Keep to the right of the center line and keep the wheels straight, so that a hit from behind pushes you straight ahead. Complete the turn when oncoming traffic clears or stops for a red light.
