You wait to turn left at an intersection. An oncoming motorcycle seems far away and slow. What should you keep in mind before you turn?
A waits on the right side of the picture to turn left. Motorcycle B approaches the intersection from the opposite direction, with a narrow profile compared with the car.
Correct answer: A motorcycle's small size can make it look farther away and slower than it is.
Why
A left turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle is one of the most common causes of crashes between motorcycles and other vehicles. The narrow shape of a motorcycle gives you fewer visual clues about how fast it comes toward you. A driver who turns left must yield to oncoming traffic, so wait until you are sure that the gap is large enough.
