How To Do A Basic Left Turn Video Lesson

On your driving test when performing a Basic Left Turn Manouevre the examiner will expect you to:

• Use the MSM routine in good time
• Brake gently and in good time
• Position your vehicle correctly - choose the correct lane where there are lane markings and in a one-way street
• Look for obstructions, traffic and pedestrians.

The examiner will also be looking to see that you:

• Read stop signs, give way signs, etc
• Accurately assess the speed of traffic.

  REMEMBER - When performing a basic left turn watch out for cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians, as they are not always easy to see. If pedestrians are crossing a road into which you are turning then you must give way to them if they are already on the road.
