- Any place where glare makes it hard to see

C. An area beside the car that the mirrors do not show
Blind spots are the zones to the left and right rear of the vehicle that are not visible in the inside or outside mirrors. That is why a head check is needed before changing lanes or merging.

How should you make a right turn from a two-way street?
- From the centre of the street, swinging wide into any open lane
- From the right lane, swinging left first to make more room
- From any lane, as long as the turn signal is flashing
- From as close to the right edge as practical, into the right-hand lane

D. From as close to the right edge as practical, into the right-hand lane
Start and finish a right turn as close to the right curb or edge as practical. Swinging wide to the left before or during the turn invites a collision with vehicles beside you.

You are turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street. From where should you begin the turn?
- The lane nearest the left curb
- The lane nearest the right curb
- The centre lane of the street
- Any lane that happens to be open
Show the answer
A. The lane nearest the left curb
On a one-way street there is no oncoming traffic, so a left turn starts from the far left lane. Starting from the right or centre would cut across traffic travelling beside you.
